Terror Strikes Citizens as Leopard Escapes

A rare Romanian leopard with an "appetite for small children" is loose on the streets of Durham.
Fluffy, the Romanian spotted leopard is one of five remaining in the world and is the only female left of their species. The Durham Zoo received her as a gift from Durhamvoska, Romania.
Director of the zoo, Gerry Durrell said, "When we opened the zoo at 7:30 this morning and began feeding the animals, we immediately noticed that Fluffy was missing."
James Petronkis, 36 of Newmarket, said he was the first to realize the cat was missing when he stopped by at 7:30 am like he does every day. Petronkis said, "I knew something was wrong right away. I told the guard he said, 'Mind your own business.'"
Petronkis then pulled the fire alarm and waited half an hour for the employees to come and inspect the area. Upon checking Fluffy's little house, Petronks said, "That's when all hell broke loose. Police cars came from every direction and within minutes they were roughly pushing visitors to the exits. Cops with guns drawn were everywhere."
Kitty Smith, the zoo?s chief biologist, said that Fluffy is extremely "extremely dangerous" and anyone that comes across the wild cat should slowly and calmly get down on the ground and not to make eye contact.
Police Chief William Blair told reporters how the force will handle this catastrophe. "We will first search every inch of this zoo. If we can?t find her in the zoo, we will begin moving farther and farther away. We are concerned because this is a residential area with an elementary school and we don't want Fluffy wandering around after the kids get out of school."
Durrell said, through tear filled eyes, "We love that cat, and we don't want to lose her."
Anybody who sees the cat should call the police immediately and get inside as soon as possible.
