Lester, C.D.
Curious conduct of a panther
1900  Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (12): 226-228

On the morning of the 19th instant, on my return from a successful stalk after black buck, my shikaris told me they had marked a large panther into a boulder-covered hill some four hundred yards from my camp. This hill is full of caves and generally holds bears, but since the panther has taken up his abode in the neighbourhood, the bears have shifted quarters to a more congenial spot about three-quarters of a mile away. My Cutch shikari, Ookha Bhil, said it was doubtful whether the beast was a panther or a small tiger, the pugs were so large.
