Leopard Drops In For A Snack

A sleeping man in Jerusalem awoke to find a wild leopard in his bed! He was able to pin it down for about 20 mins until help arrived and it was taken away.

Who knew this was a problem in Israel?? It seems when leopards become too old to hunt, they chase down pet dogs and cats for food. The man's cat, as well as his small daughter, were also in the bed. The leopard was very weak or he most likely could not have restrained it! No lie--I've seen leopards hauling animals much larger than they are up trees! (And I can't restrain my cat long enough to do her nails!)

The leopard will probably be released. Umm, now that he knows there's food there, won't he be back?
