‘Wiggle the can opener’: Twitter spends day with missing (and now safe) Dallas clouded leopard

DALLAS. A clouded leopard went missing at the Dallas Zoo on Friday.

And while the police are still investigating why the network on Nova’s hull was cut, we thought it might be fun – with Nova’s safety, of course – to comb through the puns, jokes and memes that were flowing on social media on Friday.

Here are some of the highlights:

Just saw a report about a missing leopard at the Dallas Zoo, and if I know anything about missing cats, it’s about five feet away, in a place where three people could swear they’ve already checked.

You could put up a poster of a missing leopard.
Oh wait. It will be leopard print.

My amazing new pet clouded leopard has nothing to do with the Dallas Zoo security camera glitch yesterday.

I’m sure you’re experts, but you tried to say

It works about half way with my cat.
