A fully grown leopard attacked and injured four people after it strayed into a residential area in the north-east Indian city of Guwahati today.
The locals were seriously wounded by the leopard after it ran into a house on the busy Nabagraha Road in a central residential neighbourhood of Silphukhuri.
An auto rickshaw driver managed to cage the panicked leopard inside the house, which was kept locked until forest department officials arrived and sedated the animal.



Eyewitness Nipu Das said: "We were simply shocked and stunned to find the leopard inside the house and soon the cat started attacking."
One of the injured was admitted to hospital with injuries to his head and face.
The leopard was taken for observation at the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati.
"We believe the cat strayed into the area from a nearby hillock, maybe in search of food," a forest department official said.
The hills around Guwahati are covered in dense jungle.
Large areas of the jungle have been cleared to make way for the construction of houses.
But that has led to an increase in attacks by wild animals as creatures that lived in the jungle have lost their habitat and their food sources.

i love the first pic. this man obviously knows kung fu.. watch the stance.. TIGER CLAW.. he has deflected the LEOPARD's CLAW technique, only moments after the kitty has given him the world's most natural tupae.


in the 2nd pic, the guy to the left, does he look like Donnie Yen to anyone else? idk.. , maybe i got too much kung fu on the brain.
you sure this is a real story and not a movie?

Four people were injured in an animal attack in the city of Guwahati in north-eastern India after a full grown leopard strayed into city’s residential area on January 7, 2012. Before the leopard was tranquilized, the cat ran into a house on Nabagraha Road in busy neighborhood of Silphukhuri where it struck a man in the head, slicing part of his scalp right off.

Tranquilized animal was taken to the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati for observation. Poor cat probably suffers from the same issues most animals in fast growing countries like India are faced with – shrinking and fragmented habitat. Leopards don’t feed on insects which can be found by the hundreds per square meter in the jungle. Big cats need dozens of sguare miles of undisturbed wilderness just to find enough small game to feed on. But with the encroachment of filthy humans, their hunting grounds are
vanishing and what’s a hungry cat to do?

Any idiot whatsoever could try to grab a leopard from his balls, but only someone mentally disturbed would keep grabbing. It took 45 minutes to tranquillise the leopard instead of the normal five minutes, go figure how shaking was the poor leopard. How about leavin' him alone and don't close him into a fucking cage?
Einstein was so right: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.”
