At Salt Lake City zoo exhibit a Leopard escape

A 4-year-old leopard escaped from an exhibit at Salt Lake City's Hogle Zoo on Tuesday morning, a zoo official said.

"Per our safety protocol, our staff jumped into action and escorted all guests into indoor buildings," community relations manager Erica Hansen said.

Emergency teams found the Amur leopard, named Zeya, and tranquilized her, Hansen said. Zeya was taken to a holding area.

Hansen said it was not immediately clear how Zeya managed to dart out. No injuries were reported.

Zeya's escape came as the Cincinnati Zoo reopened its gorilla exhibit 10 days after a 3-year-old boy entered the enclosure.
