Leopard snarls

A leopard has been sighted in Tuala area of Kajiado county.
The Kenya Wildlife Service said in a statement that its Problem Animal Control and Veterinary Capture teams are on the ground to attend to the case.
“We request the public to avoid crowding around the operation area to allow the experts to do their work,” KWS said.
KWS urged the public to report should they see some of the wildlife.
“In the case of sighting of wild animals, please call 0720261047 or 0720210738.”
This comes after a marauding lion mauled a man in Rongai, in what a lion expert said it must have been after the prey.
Lion expert Jirmo Tuqa said herbivores always move from the Nairobi National Park to Kitengela and Kapiti plains whenever the park is wet.
Authorities have asked residents to avoid walking at night, saying the animal was still on the loose.
The Nairobi National Park is partly ringed by an electric fence. It is not entirely sealed off to allow for the traditional migration of animals.
