15-day-old animal cub rescued in Odisha

An animal cub was today rescued from a forest near Gangapur in Odisha's Ganjam district, forest officials said.
Believed to be aged around 15 days, the cub is too small to identify weather it is a leopard or a wild cat, Divisional Forest Officer (Ghunusara South), Bijay Ketan Acharya said.
The area falls under the Baragada Forest Range. It is not known as to how the cub got separated from its mother.
"It is now in good condition under the custody of forest officials. It is being fed milk. The animal cub will be sent to Nandankanan zoo," he added.

Before dispatching it to Nandankanan, the DFO said, the cub would be medically checked by a local veterinary surgeon.
