Three leopards escaped a safari park in one of China's biggest cities. It took staff a week to sound the alarm
CNN
A leopard remains on the loose near one of China's biggest cities after three of the big cats escaped a zoo over the busy May Day holiday.
Residents living near the Hangzhou Safari Park, which did not inform the public for a week that the leopards had escaped, spotted the wild cats last week and alerted authorities, according to an announcement from the Fuyang District government.
Surveillance footage posted online showed one of the leopards walking near the upscale Jinyuan Villa area east of the park on Friday.
Search teams were dispatched, and two of the leopards were recovered, the local government said in a statement.
Now a massive hunt has been launched for the third, with officials and locals searching on foot and by drone.
It was not until the search was already underway, and seven days since the animals were reportedly first spotted, that the park officially notified the public. According to The Paper, park staff had initially denied reports any leopards had escaped.
In a statement Saturday, the zoo said it was "sincerely sorry" for not alerting people sooner, adding: "We were worried that the announcement of the incident would cause panic." The statement said administrators felt as the leopards were all juveniles, there was little risk, but added it was a mistake and "we sincerely accept the criticism" made by the public.
The Hangzhou Safari Park has been closed while local authorities investigate. The person in charge of the park was taken into police custody.
Concerns over poor conditions and lax safety standards at Chinese zoos have been raised in the past, such as last year, when a worker at Shanghai Wildlife Park was mauled to death by a bear in front of customers passing through a safari area.
Opened in 2002, the Hangzhou Safari Park houses more than 200 animal species, including pandas and elephants. The leopards were kept in its Dangerous Predator Zone.

CNN
A leopard remains on the loose near one of China's biggest cities after three of the big cats escaped a zoo over the busy May Day holiday.
在繁忙的五一假期中，三只金钱豹从一个动物园出逃后，目前一只豹子仍在逃于中国最大的城市之一附近。
leopard
表示“豹”，英文解释为“a large animal of the cat family, that has yellowish-brown fur with black spots. Leopards live in Africa and southern Asia.”
📍有个说法叫：a leopard can't/doesn't change its spots，江山易改，本性难移。英文解释：something you say that means a person's character, especially if it is bad, will not change, even if they pretend that it will.
on the loose
表示“（危险分子）在逃，未受管制”，英文解释为“If a dangerous person or animal is on the loose, that person or animal is free to move around a place and harm people.”举个🌰：
He escaped from prison last year and has been on the loose ever since.
他自去年越狱后一直在逃。
📍提到豹子外逃，很多人想到了新概念英语第三册第一课的课文，A puma at large. 逃遁的美洲狮。详见：“金钱豹出逃” A Puma at Large
课文中用的是at large这个表达，同样表示逍遥自在、行动自由，英文解释为：(especially of a criminal or dangerous animal) at liberty; escaped or not yet captured. 举个🌰：
Her killer is still at large.
杀害她的凶手仍然逍遥法外。
Residents living near the Hangzhou Safari Park, which did not inform the public for a week that the leopards had escaped, spotted the wild cats last week and alerted authorities, according to an announcement from the Fuyang District government.
根据富阳区政府的公告，住在杭州野生动物世界附近的居民上周发现了这些野生豹子，并向有关部门发出警报，该动物园在一周内没有通知公众这些豹子已经逃出。
