Man wrestles leopard in his bedroom

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli man wrestled a leopard to the ground  
after it entered his bedroom in a desert college and tried to make a  
meal of his pet cat.

"He jumped on the leopard and pinned him to the floor, then his wife  
called us so we could take it away," Amram Zabari, a local park  
ranger who rushed to the scene, said on Tuesday.

Arthur De Mosh, a 45-year-old tour guide at the college near Kibbutz  
Sde Boker in southern Israel, was awakened in the middle of the night  
by the sound of the leopard trying to eat his cat.

He freed the pet, which survived the ordeal, from the leopard's  
clutches.

A local veterinarian, Ronnie King, told Israel's Channel 10  
television the leopard was suffering from malnutrition and probably  
entered the home looking for easy prey.

Experts said only 10 leopards live in the wild in Israel. The animal  
captured at the college was transferred to a veterinary hospital for  
treatment and then taken to a nature reserve.
