Leopard Snatches And Eats Toddler At National Park by Nobody: 10:47am On May 08, 2018 |
Ugandan authorities are hunting for a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National park after it snatched and ate a ranger's three-year-old son. The toddler had been left in the care of a nanny at the unfenced staff quarters of a safari lodge in the park, when he was taken by the leopard on Friday night. Wildlife authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said the child had followed the nanny outdoors. "The maid was not aware the child followed her. She heard the kid scream for help, she intervened but it was too late the leopard had vanished with it in the bush and a search was mounted until we got the skull the next day," he said. "The hunt is on with the intention of capturing the leopard and removing it from the wild because once it has eaten human flesh, the temptations are high to eat another human being, it becomes dangerous," he added. Queen Elizabeth is Uganda's most-visited national park, with tourists flocking to watch leopards roam the Mweya Peninsula, which lies beside Lake Edward. The park also hosts African buffalo, Nile crocodile, lions and chimpanzees. The attack comes just a week after a British safari park owner was attacked by a lion in South Africa. Mike Hodge, 71, suffered a broken jaw after he was mauled in Marakele Animal Sanctuary in Thabazimbi. Mr Hodge had been showing visitors around the park when the big cat charged him and dragged him into some bushes. Video footage of the incident showed terrified tourists screaming for help as the lion mauled its victim. Keepers eventually killed the 10-year-old lion, named Samba, and Mr Hodge was taken to hospital. Two years ago, in South Africa, a year a six-year-old boy was snatched by a leopard at Kruger National park, but the youngster escaped with his life. Kellan Denny was playing with his brother on a wall when the leopard sunk its teeth into his shoulder and dragged him away. However, the leopard let go of the traumatised boy, allowing his father to rush in and carry him to safety. The incident was the first of its kind in 40 years, according to a spokesman for Kruger National Park. https://www.yahoo.com/news/leopard-snatches-eats-toddler-ugandan-133751386.html lalasticlala, oam4j

Snatched and ate? Then where are the remains? Surely a leopard can't swallow a three year old whole. |

ShyCypher: Oshey! Didn't read that part as the story just seems somehow to me. First, the kid followed her outdoors where leopards are left to roam freely? Surely there must exist some form of barrier between leopards and human that a three year old could not possibly just go in and a leopard just walk out of, but then again, what do I know! |
