A man found a leopard at his house in Uttarakhand. The owner ran to the kitchen, locked himself in and screamed for help.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats," the other three being the tiger, lion and jaguar. Leopards are big cats known for their golden, spotted bodies and graceful, yet ferocious hunting techniques. They are often thought of as an African animal, but leopards live all over the world. Though their reach is vast, their numbers are declining.
