Tracking tactful leopards on the prowl near human homes

None of the radio-collared leopards was involved in any serious conflicts with people, despite a few scenarios where things could quickly have turned ugly.
The scientists aren't suggesting that we start building condos for leopards and welcoming them into our cities, but instead stress that active measures need to be taken to better understand how leopards interact with human settlements and to then use that information to prevent potential conflicts before they happen.
That's how it began when wolves and humans accepted each other. Maybe, in a few hundred or thousand years, your average housecat might be a little more impressive than today.
