L1-(2):A Puma atlarge
Wherever it went,it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Pawprints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging tobushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and abusinessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were nowfully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As nopumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must havebeen in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It isdisturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quietcountryside.
