JERTIH, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) captured a male clouded leopard believed to have frequently attacked livestock in Kampung Kelekok near Seberang La, Hulu Besut here yesterday.
Terengganu Perhilitan director Loo Kean Seong said efforts to capture the leopard were made after receiving a complaint from villagers about the presence of the wild animal on Oct 2.
He told Bernama that an examination was carried out on the leopard to determine its health status before it was released back into its habitat.
He added that this species of leopard is rarely found in Terengganu and that it was the second such capture recorded this year.
