Use Ringtones to Catch Leopards

When ringtones were invented I don’t think they had this in mind.

In western India, animal sound ringtones such as the mooing of a cow or bleating of a goat have been used to lure hungry leopards away from people and into cages!

Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage.

They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.

Technology for good.
