surveillance cameras of o School of Medicine in India recorded when the leopard entered a building on campus and wandered down a hallway.
The images, filmed at Chamarajanagar Medical College, show a leopard entering a campus building and walking down a corridor before fleeing through the same door he used to enter the unit.
The dean of the school confirmed that the leopard entered the building and the university staff witnessed the animal’s raid.
According to authorities, the university is located next to a tiger reserve, so sometimes leopards are seen on campus.
The leopard population has increased by 60% in recent years, according to the environment minister, Prakash Javadekar.
The minister said the increase in the number of leopards, followed by similar reports about tigers and lions, shows that the country is well protecting its ecology and biodiversity.
