Bożena, a female Pallas's cat who resides at the Poznań Zoo, has been reported missing after zookeepers found her enclosure opened during the morning rounds. The zoo suspects that Bożena was intentionally released by an unidentified person, raising concerns about how someone gained unauthorized access to the zoo's animal facilities.

Bożena is particularly recognizable due to her characteristic missing left eye, which she lost at a young age. The zoo has urged the public to remain vigilant and keep an eye out for Bożena in the vicinity of the zoo and its surroundings. They are soliciting assistance from anyone who might see her to report sightings in hopes of a safe recovery.

The disappearance of a zoo animal, especially under suspicious circumstances, highlights the potential vulnerabilities in animal security at zoos, and raises questions about how to better protect wildlife and ensure public safety in these environments. Authorities will likely need to investigate further to address any lapses in security that allowed for this incident to occur.
