Earlier, the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) confirmed the presence of a common leopard on the International Islamic University campus after it was spotted last month.
The IWMB suspected that the leopard followed natural rainwater drains leading from the Margalla Hills all the way to the university premises. A solitary leopard’s home range can stretch roughly 21 kilometres.
Director IWMB Sakhawat Ali suspected that the animal followed prey like wild boars and stray dogs. The IWMB is reluctant to capture the leopard, hoping it would return the same way it came, he said.
