A rare leopard escaped from her exhibit at a zoo in South Carolina. The leopard, named Irina, was able to leave her enclosure and prompted an evacuation of staff and guests as a precaution. Irina was eventually tranquilized by zoo emergency response teams and returned to a secured area.

The incident occurred at the Greenville Zoo, where Irina lives with her mate and two cubs. Further details about the escape and Irina's background are available from the source. The Greenville Zoo reported that Irina and her family are safe, and the situation was brought under control.
