A leopard in Uganda, killed and ate, Elisha Nabugyere, the three-year-old son of a female ranger, Doreen Ayera working in the popular Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Ugandan officials are actively searching for the leopard
A nanny was looking after the boy at the unfenced staff quarters of a safari lodge in the park when he was snatched.
Wildlife authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said the child had followed the nanny outdoors.
“The maid was not aware the child followed her. She heard the kid scream for help, she intervened but it was too late the leopard had vanished with it in the bush and a search was mounted until we got the skull the next day,” he said.
“The hunt is on with the intention of capturing the leopard and removing it from the wild because once it has eaten human flesh, the temptations are high to eat another human being, it becomes dangerous,” he added.
