When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had

/w?n/ /r??p??ts/ /ke?m/ /??ntu?/ /?l?nd?n/ /zu?/ /e?t/ /?/ /wa?ld/ /?pju?m?/ /h?d/

been spotted 45 miles south of London, they were not taken

/bi?n/ /?sp?t?d/ /45/ /ma?lz/ /sa?θ/ /?v/ /?l?nd?n,/ /ee?/ /w??/ /n?t/ /?te?k?n/

seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate,

/?s??r??sli./ /ha???v?,/ /?z/ /ei/ /??v?d?ns/ /b??g?n/ /tu?/ /??kju?mj?le?t/,

experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the

/??ksp??ts/ /fr?m/ /e?/ /zu?/ /f?lt/ /??bla??d/ /tu?/ /?n?v?st?ge?t,/ /f??/ /ei?/

descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the

puma/ were extraordinarilysimilar.

The hunt for the puma began in a small village/ where a

woman/ picking blackberries/ saw 'a large cat' /only five yards

/?w?m?n/ /?p?k??/ /?bl?kb?riz/ /s??/ /?/ /lɑ??/ /k?t/ /???nli/ /fa?v/ /jɑ?dz/

away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and

/??we?/ /fr?m/ /h??./ /?t/ /??mi?di?tli/ /r?n/ /??we?/ /w?n/ /?i?/ /s??/ /?t,/ /?nd/

experts confirmed/ that a puma will not attack a human being

/ unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the

/?n?l?s/ /?t/ /?z/ /?k??n?d./ /e?/ /s???/ /pru?vd/ /?d?f?k?lt,/ /f??/ /ei?/

puma / was often observed at one place in the morning/ and at
