  "account": "KAMPUNG PURUN, Jelebu: After a three-week search, a male adult black panther weighing approximately 27kg was captured in a trap set up by the Negri Sembilan Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) in Kampung Purun this morning. The department was alerted on July 8 that the panther had been spotted at a durian orchard, where it was suspected to have preyed on chickens. Perhilitan director Wan Mat Wan Harun confirmed they set a trap on October 27 to capture the animal, which is estimated to be between three and four years old. Veterinary officers found the panther to be in good health with no serious injuries and it will be released into a protected area under Perhilitan's supervision. Wan Mat indicated that it is possible that more black panthers may be present in the area as the captured animal is still young, and the trap will remain in operation.",
