Using a simple forensic examination technique, researchers found that injuries from entanglement in wire snares are present in 37% of lions and 22% of leopards in Zambia, while 27% of lions had shotgun pellets embedded in their skulls. Their method provides an opportunity to better monitor and quantify the number of large carnivores sustaining non-lethal injuries due to human activities including poaching and land protection.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-02-injuries-zambian-lions-leopards-shotguns.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Injuries to Zambian lions and leopards caused by shotguns and wires snares greatly underestimated<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The incidence of lion and leopard injuries caused by humans in Zambia is much higher than previously thought.
