Toddler, 3, is Snatched and Eaten By Leopard at Safari Park in Uganda
A three-year-old son of a ranger has been snatched and eaten by a leopard at a safari park in Uganda.The toddler was being looked after by a nanny in unfenced staff quarters at a safari lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park when the attack occurred.
Wildlife authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said the child had followed the nanny outside on Friday night when the big cat struck.
The leopard snatched the three-year-old, who has not been named, and dragged him into the bush.
His remains were found the next day and the big cat is now being hunted so that it can be removed from the wild.
