A leopard in Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve. While such cases of animals on the loose have increased in recent years, it is unusual for anyone to be injured during their outingsNAIROBI - A leopard wandered into a house in southeastern Kenya after straying from its home in Tsavo National Park before rangers rescued it, a wildlife official told AFP Friday.
In a video shared online by local media outlet Daily Nation, rangers were seen carrying the tranquilised leopard -- it's head covered by a cloth -- and loading it into a car, as an excited crowd tried to film the happening on their phones. A lion caused panic in July after straying from its habitat in Nairobi National Park into a crowded neighbourhood south of the Kenyan capital.
That park is just seven kilometres from the heart of Nairobi, and incidents of animals escaping the grassy plains and wandering into the chaotic metropolis of more than four million are not uncommon.In December 2019, a lion mauled a man to death just outside the Nairobi park ringed by electric fencing, while in March 2016 another cat was shot dead after attacking and injuring a nearby resident.
