Villagers Stop Harvesting Field To Rescue 5 Jungle Cat Cubs

Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan shared the video on Twitter.

Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan often shares informational posts on forests, agriculture and animals. In a Twitter thread on Wednesday, he shared a clip from the rescue operation of five jungle cat cubs from an agricultural farm. Mr Kaswan did not disclose the location of the rescue - as is his policy in most cases to avoid undue human interference. The Jungle Cat (Felis chaus) is a protected species, according to the IFS officer. And all the five jungle cat cubs were saved. Found by farmers during harvesting in a field. pic.twitter.com/OvKeUNNnJB All were so small that they could not have been survive without mother.So we decided to reunite them with mother.The area was cordoned off. Where they were found villagers decided to stop harvesting for the time being. Camera traps were established in the area carefully.Teams and villagers stationed for the night near the location. So that they can be monitored and no disturbance occur. pic.twitter.com/WMSPvriQXM In night mother came and took all the cubs to Forest.

Sharing a video of the cubs, he wrote: “And all the five jungle cat cubs were saved. Found by farmers during harvesting in a field.” In the clip, we see a close-up of one of the cubs. Then, we are shown the five cubs lying on a field. Farmers and local people are seen making arrangements for the cubs.

Mr Kaswan followed it up with more information. He wrote that the cubs were too small to survive without their mother, so the villagers decided to help reunite the family. The land was “cordoned off” for this purpose, and the “villagers decided to stop harvesting for the time being”.
