This big cat is still on the lam.

Weeks after three leopards escaped from an eastern China safari park, one is still at large — and the park is under fire for keeping the breakout a secret.

Residents who live near the Hangzhou Safari Park — not the park itself — first alerted authorities that the animals were on the loose after noticing them around the tony Jinyuan Villa area near the park, according to an announcement from the Fuyang District government, CNN reported.

Only after a formal search was started, a full week after the animals were first reported to be out and about, did the park finally alert the public.

Perhaps it has been eaten?

Three Leopards ‘got loose’?
Holy Moly! Heads should be rollin’.
Maybe the No Pussyfootin’ signs were not enough.

Then the escaped critter is probably a big house cat with some leopard spots painted on.

A leopard? That’s nothing. I went to a bar last night and there were 3 cougars.

We’d better all wear masks, just in case.

Could that Lepard hear or was it Def? Had to put that out there.

That’s nothing. I went to a bar last night and there were 3 cougars.

I met a beautiful self-assured woman at the Oasis who had a 'MILF' belt buckle. Awesome with a little bit of scary. I was not her guy that evening but won't forget that.

Wow you met someone from the Philippines who had a Moro Islamic Liberation Front belt buckle?

Those are some scary dudes indeed.
