Into the wild: 'Baby safari' at the BioParc
ELEPHANTS being born in the middle of Spain's third-largest city is not something that happens every day. In fact, until this month, it had never happened before.
Mijas police hunt large black panther
26/09/2007
The hunt is on for a large black panther spotted by a member of the public in a park near the Los Claveles residential estate in La Cala de Mijas at around 7pm last night.
Since then, three other people have corroborated the sighting.
Suggestions that the animal was a large dog were ruled out after the man, who managed to photograph it on his mobile phone, told how he saw it climb a tree.
Several Guardia Civil environmental officers armed with tranquiliser guns were deployed to hunt down the animal, but the search was called off for safety reasons at nightfall.
A Guardia Civil spokesman said that the animal probably escaped from a private property.
The search operation resumed today at first light.
