Leopard kills playing toddler (4)

bhanu - A leopard killed a 4-year-old girl in Nepal. The child played in front of her house in a village in the middle of the country when the animal attacked, reports the local police.

The child collapsed in the hospital. She lived with her family near a forest, where the leopard must have come from.

Because wild animals lose their natural environment due to deforestation, confrontations with people in Nepal are becoming increasingly common, especially in the vicinity of forests and national parks.
