1. The Latest Roadside Leopard Sighting

The most recent incident occurred near a forested stretch just outside central Murree. Several villagers captured footage of a large leopard walking along a quiet road. The video quickly went viral on social media, reigniting debates on wildlife encroachment and community safety.

  • Location: Near Bhurban-Murree road
  • Time: Early morning
  • Villagers’ reaction: Shock and fear

2. Previous Sighting in Patriata Forests

Just six months prior, a similar big cat was seen by hikers in the Patriata forest region. Wildlife authorities responded with camera traps but failed to capture any confirmed footage. However, paw prints matching those of a leopard were found.

3. Nighttime Roars Heard Near Ayubia

In 2023, villagers near Ayubia National Park reported hearing terrifying roars at night. Though no animal was seen, experts believe a solitary male leopard was likely marking its territory, indicating increased leopard movement in human-inhabited areas.

4. Domestic Livestock Attacks in Ghora Gali

Residents of Ghora Gali reported multiple attacks on livestock over the past two years. Chickens, goats, and even calves were found dead, believed to be victims of predatory attacks by wild cats—likely leopards or lynx.

5. Leopard Cub Found in Residential Area

In a rare but telling case, a leopard cub was found near a residential neighborhood in 2022. Experts say this indicates habitat displacement and increased risks of encounters between wild cats and humans.

Why Are Big Cats Roaming Closer to Humans?

Wildlife experts suggest deforestation, habitat loss, and expanding human settlements are driving these big cats out of their natural habitats. Leopards, being adaptable predators, often wander close to villages in search of food or territory.

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature Pakistan (WWF-Pak), urgent conservation measures are needed to protect both wildlife and communities.

What Authorities Are Doing

  • Setting up camera traps for monitoring
  • Deploying wildlife rangers in high-risk zones
  • Advising villagers on precautions
  • Exploring relocation options for problematic animals

Community Safety Tips

If you’re a resident or planning a visit to Murree, here are some safety tips:

  • Avoid walking alone near forest edges at dawn or dusk
  • Keep livestock secure in enclosed areas
  • Report sightings to wildlife officials immediately
  • Install motion-sensitive lights around property perimeters

Conclusion

The growing number of big cat sightings in Murree is a pressing concern for residents, travelers, and conservationists alike. While these majestic predators are vital to the ecosystem, coexistence requires proactive measures. By staying alert and informed, communities can reduce the risk of conflict and ensure safety for all.
