raiting (-3/7) It is a classic case of survival of the fittest and the fight for space between man and beast. All the more difficult in a city like Mumbai, whose burgeoning population is increasingly pushing deep into the forest. The forest, which is Mumbai's green lung is also a wildlife sanctuary and the leopards' natural habitat. But, in the last few months, the big cats have increasingly emerged from the forest and into the urban jungle, killing twenty-two people including children. Residents are up in arms about what they call "official apathy", but forest officials say itїs up to residents to take great care in the face of an unexpected threat. Meanwhile, environmental activists say the beasts are not man-eaters. They say the story underlines man's inability to play by nature's rules and keep to his own terrain while the leopards are left to theirs.
