Leopard kills toddler in South Africa's Kruger park
Johannesburg - A leopard killed a two-year-old boy inside a fenced-off staff compound at South Africa's Kruger national park, officials said Thursday.
The leopard attacked the boy on Wednesday evening after getting into the staff living quarters, which are separated from the rest of the park by an electrified fence. "In parks like the KNP predators do interact with tourists and staff and at times it may result in species like leopard getting habituated to people and losing their fear," the park said.The KNP said attacks were a danger faced by all staff and family members living and working in the park, but were very rare.
