...underlying problem is a familiar one in India's crowded business capital: a lack of space. Thousands of migrants join Bombay's population of 14 million every week, but built on a narrow spit of land between marshlands and the sea, the city has nowhere to grow. As many as 12,000 of Bombay's poor now live in slums inside the wildlife park in the north of the city, and the normally shy leopards, for whom food is often scarce, are developing a taste for people...
