Hungry leopard kills wild boar
( 2003-12-31 16:20) (China Daily)
A starving leopard attacked a group of wild boar at a forestry farm in
Lingshan Mountain on the western outskirts of Beijing Monday and killed one by
slashing its throat, Xinhua News Agency reports.
Farm vice-director Zhang Zhenshui said the leopard leapt over the pen's wall
after attacking the boar, which had a ear bitten off and its throat slit.
This is the sixth time that leopards have stuck the farm; and the recent
attack is believed to be because of a shortage of food in the cold weather,
according to Zhang.
