Moo-by trap
Mobile phone ringtones of cows mooing are being used to lure Indian leopards into traps.
Gujarat forest guards are using the unusual animal noises to stop the vicious animals wandering into human villages.
The guards have also downloaded sounds of goats bleating and roosters crowing to their mobile phones, which they play via speakers to lure the leopards into cages.
Mr Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat, said: "The moos of a cow, bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards.
This trick works." Five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new method was introduced a month ago.
They have all been released back into the wild.
