Post-mortem on an imposing leopard
A historical entry from the OASIS animal picture blog. Original observations and discussion are preserved; this entry has not received a new veterinary review. Some photographs show clinical procedures.
The leopard in these images was found dead in the outskirts of Kupwara forest. Post-mortem on the animal was carried out at the Veterinary Hospital, Sopore.
The leopard was a fully grown male, weighing approximately 70 Kgs, robust in appearance and unlikely to have died of any ordinary reason. The post-mortem examination (pending histopathology) was largely inconclusive.

I wonder why this smart Vet has remained clueless about the cause of the death on gross examination of the carcase!
