When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had
/wɛn/ /rɪˈpɔːts/ /keɪm/ /ˈɪntuː/ /ˈlʌndən/ /zuː/ /ðæt/ /ə/ /waɪld/ /ˈpjuːmə/ /hæd/
been spotted 45 miles south of London, they were not taken

seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate,
/ˈsɪərɪəsli./ /haʊˈɛvə,/ /æz/ /ði/ /ˈɛvɪdəns/ /bɪˈgæn/ /tuː/ /əˈkjuːmjʊleɪt/,
experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the
/ˈɛkspɜːts/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /zuː/ /fɛlt/ /əˈblaɪʤd/ /tuː/ /ɪnˈvɛstɪgeɪt,/ /fɔː/ /ðiː/
descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the

puma/ were extraordinarilysimilar.
/ˈpjuːmə/ /wɜːr/ /ɪksˈtrɔːdnrɪli/ /ˈsɪmɪlə/
The hunt for the puma began in a small village/ where a

away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and
/əˈweɪ/ /frɒm/ /hɜː./ /ɪt/ /ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /ræn/ /əˈweɪ/ /wɛn/ /ʃiː/ /sɔː/ /ɪt,/ /ænd/
experts confirmed/ that a puma will not attack a human being
