Are leopards leaving known habitats for food & territory?

Leopard sightings near Pune airport are attributed to dispersal from overpopulated habitats like Junnar and Shirur, driven by the search for resources. Experts trace the leopard's path to Shirur, a conflict hotspot, where a recent fatality occurred. Sterilization is proposed to manage dispersal, but porous borders complicate control, making regions like Daund and Pune sensitive.
