Wildlife Experts Warn of Rising Urban Leopard Threats. As urbanization continues to encroach on natural habitats, encounters between humans and wild animals are becoming increasingly common. In a stark warning, wildlife experts have highlighted the potential dangers posed by urban leopards, a species that is often overlooked in discussions about wildlife-human conflict. Unlike urban raccoons, which have adapted to city life and can be managed with relative ease, leopards are a more formidable and elusive threat, with the potential to cause significant harm to both humans and pets.
“It’s a lot easier to coexist with hundreds of thousands of urban raccoons than one or two urban leopards.”
