An unusual sight offered residents of a northern French town: In Armentières a young panther has been spotted on a rooftop. The cat excursion was ended by a rescue team.

The Panther was discovered according to authorities on Wednesday evening. Footage on social media shows him climbing the roofs, looking up trains and other animals and peering through a window.

The police set up a security area around the building. Then an expert approached the Panther and administered anesthesia, the authorities said. Finally, the animal was locked in a cage and handed over to the animal welfare organization LPA.

The origin of the cat is still unclear. The investigators assume that the Panther was kept in an apartment. They suspect that the owner fled so as not to be prosecuted for illegal possession of a wild animal.

In France, cases are repeatedly exposed where animals are kept illegally. For example, snakes and small lions have been privately owned. In some cases, the authorities became aware because the animals are for sale on the Internet.
