Video: Wounded Leopard Strays Into Village. How 10 Officials Rescued It

The leopard was filmed growling at onlookers.

An injured leopard strayed into a village in Xinlong County in southwestern China, and caused damage to property before it was captured and treated for its wounds. It is speculated that the big cat wandered into the village in search of food. Fortunately, the big cat did not attack anyone.

The incident took place on Tuesday, June 12, in Sichuan Province. Footage of the leopard, shared by CGTN on YouTube and Facebook, shows it growling at onlookers. The leopard appears to have injuries around its eye. The injured leopard was captured by ten officials of the local forest department and will be treated by veterinarians before being released back into the wild.
