Whereabouts in south india?

The leopards can be quite small and scrawny in some places....and quite fearful of humans too.

You have wolves who take babies from the villages. I was just reading up on an animal conflict case reported from UP about 14 15 children lost.

Turns out it the wolf pair was actively hunting human babies after their den was destroyed by villagers.
