The 3ft stuffed toy scared pedestrians and caused a traffic jam in Xiamen city.

A witness told Xiamen Daily: "Dogs were scared and passers-by were running for their lives. Some of them ran into traffic, causing a back-up."

Eventually, police officers arrived with an armed anaesthetist from the local Haicang Zoo.

"After observing for a while, we saw the leopard was stationary, so one of the officers gingerly went ahead and touched it. Then we realised it's a toy," said a police spokesman.

Why do all these weird news items come out of China?

Yeah, and I guarantee you no dogs were scared of it.  That's a load of crap to make them feel better for being scared of a toy.

No way, man. I'm sure the dogs were walking along happily and all of a sudden went "Holy shit, theres a real leopard over there that smells like polyfill!"

That's cause they're too used to running scared from Godzilla, so now they are gullible to any monstrosity or look alike there of.

You know, if your country ever goes to war with China you know what to do. Bombard them with toy black panthers insulting their mothers in the worst way.
