Leaping Leopards!

This happened just 3 miles from where we lived in Bangalore, where our friends kids went to school! Snow days aren't nearly as exciting! Click here to see the whole article and video: Here Kitty, Kitty

A male leopard which entered a school in the Indian city of Bangalore injured six people trying to capture it.
A scientist and a forestry employee were among those mauled during the near 10-hour long effort to corner the dangerous animal on Sunday. 
The leopard, which strolled into the Vibgyor International school, was eventually tranquillised and released.
A recent wildlife census estimated that India has a leopard population of between 12,000 and 14,000.
The eight-year-old male was spotted strolling inside the school premises in the Kundalahalli area.
Footage on the school's security cameras showed it attacking a man near a swimming pool.
