Udaipur: In the first in India, a rare ‘pink’ leopard was recently seen in the Ranakpur area, located in the hills of Aravalli Rajasthan Selatan.
Previous sightings of Leopard Pink were reported in South Africa in 2012 and 2019.
Locals in Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh claimed to sometimes see large cats – having strawberry colored coats – in various regions because of the area of ​​pink forest areas.
Leopard has explored into, said Rajsamand DCF Fateh Singh Rathore.

Indian leopards usually have a tawny coat with black spots.
However, pink leopards have reddish brown skin and different spots compared to common leopards.
Strawberry coats from pink leopards are caused by erythromm – a genetic condition that causes excess red pigment production or underproduction of dark pigments – retired forest officers from Satish Sharma.

Motwani said women’s leopards were around five to six.
