In the heart of the Kombaru sanctuary in Karnataka, an incident occurred that would challenge our understanding of freedom and survival in the wild. A leopard, chasing its prey, found itself in an unexpected encounter with a dog, who had sought refuge in a toilet. What transpired in the hours that followed was a tale of survival, freedom, and the unexpected bonds that can form in the most unlikely of places.
Freedom is oxygen of the soul!!
This incident is from the resthouse adjacent to the Kombaru sanctuary in Karnataka.
A leopard was chasing the dog. The dog entered the toilet through a window. The toilet was closed from the outside.
The leopard entered behind the dog, and both got stuck in the toilet. When the dog saw the leopard, he panicked and quietly sat in one corner. He didn’t even dare to bark.
Even though the leopard was hungry and was chasing the dog, he did not eat the dog. He could have had dinner by tearing off the dog in one leap.
But the two animals were together in different corners for almost twelve hours. During these twelve hours, the leopard was also quiet.
The forest department zeroed in on the leopard and captured him using a tranquilizer dart.
Now the question is, why didn’t the hungry leopard tear off the dog when it was easily possible??
The wildlife researchers responded to this question: According to them, wild animals are very sensitive to their freedom. As soon as they realize their liberty has been taken away, they can feel deep sorrow, so much so that they can forget their hunger.
Their natural motivation to feed the stomach begins to fade away.
As a human we too need freedom in various ways……freedom of speech, expression, religion & belief, food , think and act…. etc etc.
If we look at the idea of freedom more broadly, it is connected with happiness!!!
And the secret of happiness is freedom.
Zentasia Addendum
As the leopard and dog were trapped together in the toilet, their natural instincts for survival and freedom were put to the test. Though the leopard was hungry and had the opportunity to harm the dog, it chose not to. The dog, in turn, did not bark or attempt to attack the leopard.
This incident serves as a reminder that even in the wild, the drive for freedom and survival can coexist, and that sometimes, the most unlikely bonds can be formed.
The forest department was able to eventually capture the leopard using a tranquilizer dart and release it into the wild again.
The dog was also safely removed from the toilet.
The incident leaves us with a question, what truly motivates wild animals, is it freedom or survival? And how much of it is connected with happiness?
The answer is still a mystery but this incident certainly gives us a glimpse of it.
