Officials at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) are trying everything possible to reunite three leopard kittens with their missing mother. They are continuously reviewing photographs from camera traps and even distributing the cubs` scat in the hopes of drawing their mother back. The cubs have been without their mother for over a month, and time is running out, a PTI report stated. 

The cubs, about two months old, were discovered near a buffalo stable in the Aarey Colony region. Despite efforts to locate the mother, she has not returned. The cubs were initially fed milk and chicken, although they appeared to prefer the poultry, reported the news agency. 

Forest officials attempted to reunite the cubs with their mother by placing them in a cage near where they were discovered, but she did not come up. The cubs are currently being cared for in the park`s rescue centre. There is concern that the mother abandoned them, probably due to stress from her previous litter.
