Leopard menacing have been causing a lot of trouble in Nashik for quite sometime now. In June, a big cat walked into a house in the middle of the night. Luckily, the family locked themselves inside. The leopard kept roaring at the window until a rescue team arrived.In May, leopards were sighted in Makhamalabad during the onset of summer in search of water. Due to human encroachment on the forests, wild animals have fewer opportunities to seek food and water in their natural habitat, forcing them to come to human settlements. As Nashik has vast agricultural areas, it becomes easier for leopards to hide in the fields. Leopards hide in sugarcane fields during the day, while at night they come out to hunt dogs, goats, sheep, and other small animals.
