Authorities in eastern China are still searching for the last of three leopards to have escaped from a safari park. Two of the leopards have been captured, but one still remains at large.
The three leopards were spotted by villagers as early as May 1, according to the state-owned Global Times newspaper.
The Hangzhou Safari Park, which the leopards escaped from, is now facing criticism for concealing the breakout for a week.
