Photo by AFP\t<\/p>\n<p>A leopard was captured on Monday after it wandered into a hotel complex in one of Indonesia&#8217;s most popular holiday destinations, sparking panic among guests.\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">The big cat was spotted on Monday morning outside a guest room on the second floor of a hotel in Bandung, the capital of West Java, Indonesia&#8217;s most populous province.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">The hotel management alerted firefighters, who then contacted the local conservation agency about the sighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">&#8220;We used a tranquilizer, and at around 10 a.m. (0300 GMT) the leopard was taken out of the hotel,&#8221; Agus Arianto, head of West Java&#8217;s conservation agency, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">In late August, a leopard was reported to have escaped from a zoo located just five kilometers (three miles) from the hotel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">Agus said it would take time to determine whether the animal captured on Monday was the same one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">&#8220;Currently, the leopard is slowly regaining consciousness. It has started to growl,&#8221; Agus said, adding that the animal would be taken to a conservation facility for observation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">Indonesia has seen other incidents involving escaped zoo animals in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">In 2021, two Bengal tigers escaped from a zoo in Singkawang, West Kalimantan, after days of torrential rain created a hole near their enclosure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">A 47-year-old male zookeeper and several animals were found dead near the tiger cage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">One of the tigers was shot dead, while the other was captured alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">Indonesia&#8217;s zoos have long faced scrutiny, with some accused of animal cruelty and lax safety standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By AFP\u00a0 &amp;nbspOctober 6, 2025 | 05:27 pm PT A tranquilized leopard lies inside a cage, after it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[85,46,45288,141,386],"class_list":["post-61237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-leopard-captured-after-wandering-into-indonesian-hotel-vnexpress-international","tag-science","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
