Where is the Black Panther now?

The Panther was first seen in Kiskunhalas, then Kecskemét and Ballószög.
The wild cat has been making headlines in Hungary for a while now. Most recently it got closer to people, but the animal is still out there. In December, a black cat was seen on footage. Later it was identified as a black panther. Experts informed the public that the panther was most likely kept illegally, then it either escaped or was released by the owner.
The animal must be used to humans, and it is unlikely to attack people.

BUT out of precaution, it is strongly advised to turn the other way and walk away from the animal at a steady and quick pace
