Young Simba came to the Wildlife SOS Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre as a small cub of just two months of age. Locals spotted the cub near Kolwade village in Sangamner and alerted the Maharashtra Forest Department. Despite repeated attempts to reunite the cub with its mother, the female leopard did not return. Without the guidance of a parent, Simba wouldn’t have survived in the wild. Since then, Simba has grown into a gorgeous leopard.
