NEW: ZimParks refutes reports of stray leopard in Harare

Online Reporter

THE Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has dismissed reports circulating on social media of a stray leopard in the affluent suburbs of Harare, saying investigations revealed that this was untrue.

Social media is awash with reports of a stray leopard in areas around Greystone Park and Glen Lorne.

Reports say the leopard was spotted roving the areas, with some residents claiming to have lost their pets to the feline animal.

“We received that report and there was no indication of a leopard,” said ZimParks spokesperson Mr Tinashe Farawo.

“I think it’s just another social media story, but we are still pursuing the search.

“As you know, leopards and dogs do not see eye to eye; we should have been receiving reports of missing dogs and cats.”
