A surprise visitor spotted in the kitchen

Last night we were sat with our guests around the evening campfire, exchanging safari stories and tales from the bush when we heard a dreadful commotion in the kitchen.
Nervously I called for Wigson, dreading the worst (I, of course, automatically thought he had been either trampled or eaten!) He answered in a hushed whisper and stumbled rather shakily towards us. He had been attending to the oven fires when our resident male leopard meandered into the kitchen to see what was going on (no doubt drawn by the tantalising aromas of the delicious beef that Wigson's team had cooked for us all earlier).

Wigson had tried to stay calm, but hastily threw burning logs at the leopard, who turned and ran way, knocking over every dish, pot and pan in his path!! It was quite an exciting end to the evening.
