In November, local authorities opened a hunt for the leopard, the culprit spreading horribly to many villages located along the banks of the Mahakali River.

The police suspended 25,000 rupees ($ 300) for anyone who could catch the animal, dead or alive, after 100 police officers and soldiers could not catch it.

"In the last Wednesday, we had 20 police come near the place where the leopard was found. Local people were very afraid to leave the house at night. But now they could breathe a sigh of relief," - Saud said. . It is known that the attacks occurred in a mountainous area, sparsely populated and forest covered, divided around a dozen villages.

The International Union for Nature Conservation has included newspapers on the list of "near extinction" species . Experts say that this animal community has declined sharply because of poaching.

Among Nepal's three newspapers, snow leopards are often found in hilly areas, while the common and cloudy newspapers live in near-equatorial areas or in hilly areas with forest cover.

According to Mangal Man Shakya, chairman of Kathmandu-based Wildlife Monitoring Group, Nepal has not yet conducted a national scale survey of leopard species.

But he said that some small surveys show that the newspaper community has increased over the past two decades, thanks to conservation efforts and the gradual re-growth of forests.
