"Of the 25 individually identified leopards, we were able to establish by camera-trap evidence and our frequent observations that four of the males and eight of the females have established home-ranges in JRF."

"The minimum convex polygon method (MCP)... Home-range size (100% MCP) of adult males averaged 8.6 km2... whereas resident adult females occupied an average of 5.2 km2."

"Female home ranges overlapped extensively, sharing up to 45% of their territory with related individuals, particularly around permanent water points."

"Owing to the absence of perennial water sources, the wildlife in JRF concentrates on the artificial waterholes created by the Rajasthan Forest Department... apex predator coexistence with 3.9 million urban human neighbors."

"Spatial analysis revealed reduced activity near boundary fences during daylight, with captures shifting entirely nocturnal within 200 meters of the urban perimeter."

"it was considered inadvisable to base our conclusions on KDE because the method requires large sampling points with an even distribution, as opposed to our data which were based on optimal-stratified sampling and were heavily clustered."

"Camera traps were deployed at 21 stations in an area of 29 km2... duration of each camera trapping period was fixed at two weeks, i.e., 19 trapping events per year. The standard time interval considered was 30 min."

"This leads to 'budding' (a pattern where dispersers establish their home-ranges close to their birthplace), which further results in kin-clustering... demonstrated by the home-range overlap of Flora and Jalebi, LK and Tim-Tim, and Nathwali and Leela."

"The population density of leopards in JRF is approximately 0.86 leopards per km2, representing one of the highest recorded densities for the species globally in an isolated patch."

"Diet composition of the leopards of JRF... clearly indicated the dependence of leopards on domesticated animals such as feral dogs, cats, domestic pigs and cattle which are predated in urban neighborhoods."

"The total absence of dominant sympatric competitors like tigers or lions allows leopards in Jhalana to occupy the apex ecological niche without intraguild suppression."

"Research cannot be limited to the boundaries of the reserve... urgent necessity of establishing a formal wildlife corridor connecting Jhalana with Amagarh and the greater Sariska landscape."
