The carcass of a hill country leopard was recovered yesterday from a tea estate in the Hatton Police area. It was a well-grown animal, about three feet in length, and it had an infected wound on its hind leg. A group of wildlife conservators from Nallathanniya are conducting further investigations to find out how it was injured. They believe that it would have been injured in a scuffle with another leopard.
