Leopard Cat Cub Rescued in Deomali, Safely Transferred to Mini Zoo in Arunachal’s Miao
A Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) cub weighing 250 grams was found stranded along the Deomali–Namsang Road on September 20, 2026, by Temin Lama of Deomali.
He promptly handed over the cub to D. Lowang, Range Forest Officer, Deomali, for necessary care and protection.
Following assessment and necessary arrangements, the cub was transported on September 22, 2026, and safely handed over to the Mini Zoo, Miao, under Namdapha National Park and Tiger Reserve, Changlang District, for proper care, rehabilitation and further monitoring.
Divisional Forest Officer, Deomali, B. Taba, appreciated Temin Lama for his timely cooperation and responsible action towards wildlife conservation.
He also appealed to the general public to remain vigilant and immediately inform the nearest Forest Department office or officials upon encountering stranded, injured or distressed wildlife, while avoiding any attempt to handle or disturb the animal.
The rescue is part of the Deomali Forest Division’s continued efforts towards wildlife protection and conservation. Earlier in March this year, the Division had also rescued a bear cub from Borduria and successfully shifted it to the Centre for Bear Rehabilitation and Conservation (CBRC) at Pakke Tiger Reserve for specialised care and rehabilitation.
