The Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve in Erode district is home to several wildlife species including tigers, leopards, elephants, and deer. The National Highway connecting Sathyamangalam to Mysuru via Thimbam passes through this reserve forest. To ensure the safety of wildlife, vehicular traffic on this road is restricted at night.

As a result, sightings of wild animals along the roadside and while crossing the road have become common both during the day and at night. Recently, at the 27th hairpin bend of Thimbam Ghat Road, a leopard was spotted roaming by motorists. In addition, during night hours, leopards have also been seen lying on the roadside retaining walls by drivers.

Regarding this, the Forest Department issued a warning:

"Vehicles should not be stopped and drivers should not step out along the Thimbam Ghat Road. If wild animals cross the road, they should not be disturbed — motorists must wait patiently and proceed only when safe. We urge all travelers to remain cautious while passing through this stretch," officials said.
