The leopard population, on the other hand, showed a reverse trend where ERTR recorded a decrease in their density (9.76 to 2.07 individuals/100 km 2 between 2004 and 2008, respectively, Harihar et al., 2011 ) (possibly due to inter-species competition) and WRTR showed an increasing trend in leopard density ( Jhala et al., 2021 ) (due to less competition from tigers).
