    Coexistence is the key evolution every animal on earth should get if they can't coexist there's no future for them

    @@nareshvak988 That's so stupidest shit I ever heard!!! What if those species do become extinct will people survive? No! They also depend on the ecosystem that depends of species diversity less diverse ecosystem is highly unstable and would collapse! Then even humans will go extinct. So it's the human population that needs to be controlled! There will be no sources left to sustain high population

    They can’t but human life gets priority over animals that prey on humans. These types of animals belong in preserves since they can’t coexist with humans without casualties

    We really need to reduce our population, plan cities and manage waste to tackle such issues.

    if u mainitained the reserve properly with enough biodiversity and water resources, this wouldn't happen. human livelihoods should settle based on guidelines around natural reserves. forest officials have one job and they don't do that properly.

    leopards are awesome we went on its trail on the mountains following the narrow trail from Goregaon behind dindoshi , dense forest! i herd a growl, i ended up walking backwards slowly for a few feet and then ran out of the dense zone while making loud sounds or something don't remember! lucky for me we 4 of us were just about 20-30 meters into the dense region where there is no visibility due to the trees !! please do not try this !! this was about more than a decade or more ago ! growl was loud and clear so we knew it was about a few feet away from us but we couldn't see it we were just friends and locals going in to explore the mountain and waterfall during daytime ! , scary experience but it was a good one because the leopard who could have easily caught any one of us if it wanted to because we were going in the dense forest trail on the mountain in his home! but didnt attack us or do anything we couldn't even see it ! because of the dense forest . now i realise it was a serious encounter !! to show my appreciation i will visit a Waghoba temple soon ! thank you everyone !

    47 leopards in SGNP? Are you serious man? Have been visiting SGNP since childhood and have been part of camera trapping projects. There are not more than 30 leopards infact less than 30.

    What is your problem, nit wit?! This channel has done several such videos on India's ecology. This is a completely new video. It doesn't matter if it was already covered by a different channel. Indians are proud of their wildlife. Irrespective of the poverty and crushing population density, Indians have done a decent job in co-existing with various big wild animals. NONE of the Indian neighbours have the kind of wildlife support and protection infrastructure that India has.
