A leopard attacked two men at a South African Air Force base bordering the renowned Kruger National Park. The incidents occurred when one of the victims, a uniformed Air Force member, was out for a run, and the other, a civilian employee, was walking on the base.

Both men were hospitalized with scratches but suffered no major injuries, according to Brig. Gen. Donavan Chetty, an air force spokesman. One of the men has already been discharged, while the other is expected to leave the hospital on Thursday.

Following the attacks last week, the leopard was captured on Wednesday and relocated to a sanctuary approximately 100 km (62 miles) from the Hoedspruit Air Force Base. Gen. Chetty noted that while encounters with leopards are common for those living and working near the park, they are rarely dangerous.

The Kruger National Park, known for its rich wildlife, is largely fenced off. However, Gen. Chetty explained that it is difficult to contain leopards with fences due to their agility. “The leopards are basically in and amongst the human population,” he said, adding that around 150 leopards are known to reside in the area.

Leopards are nocturnal predators that hunt a variety of prey, including wildebeest, antelope, and fish, according to the Kruger National Park website.
