THE GREAT ESCAPE: Vicious Leopard That MAULED Six Staff At Indian School On The LOOSE Once Again!! (WATCH)
A male leopard that mauled six people at a school in India before it was captured has escaped again, say officials. The eight-year-old leopard entered into a closed school in Bangalore on the 7th of February, injuring several people before being tranquilized. It was then taken to Bannerghatta National Park for medical treatment but has since escaped from its cage. Officials said the leopard escaped when attendants opened the cage to feed it and left the cage door open.
“They say that it could have got out through a gap in the railing. There is a lot of incongruity in the statements made by the staff there. So, we have ordered an inquiry. We should know the details in the next two or three days,” Mr Ravi Ralph, chief wildlife warden in the south Indian state of Karnataka said in a statement. The escape comes one week after the leopard broke into a school in the Kundalahalli area. A scientist and a forestry employee were among those mauled by the leopard. It took forest and police officials 12 hours to capture the animal…A major search is underway to locate the big cat, authorities say they are not taking any chances and have alerted residential neighborhoods to be alert. Around 1,500 leopards are estimated to live in the state of Karnataka, and conflicts between animals and people are becoming more common as the animals lose their habitats. Residents have been notified to call the authorities immediately if they spot the leopard and not to approach it.
