Sounds like someone tried to steal the leopard and it got away from them.

and the zoo has security cameras, right?
or were they interfered with?

The Dallas Zoo is deep in the ‘hood. Some crackhead or gangbanger probably thought it might make a great pet.

I was lucky enough to see an African leopard in South Africa a few years ago.It was a male and it was huge and looked pretty mean. I wonder if this one is as dangerous.

[C]louded leopards weigh between 20 and 25 pounds

A very big house kitty! Most of my biggest males weighed 14 lbs or so at peak.
