Breaking News: Museum Incident Sparks Chaos, Large Animal and Fire Leave Authorities Baffled A disturbance erupted downtown today when an unidentified large animal escaped from the Museum of Natural Wonders, leaving a security guard injured and causing a small fire in the surrounding area. Witnesses reported a loud crash just before noon as the creature, described as a "large cat," broke through the museum’s front doors. The guard is currently recovering at White Crest General Hospital. Authorities engaged with the animal, but during the confrontation, a fire broke out, consuming much of the evidence. The remains of the creature were so badly damaged that investigators have been unable to confirm whether it was a living animal or a malfunctioning mechanical exhibit. Conflicting reports suggest that the incident may have originated in the museum’s Paleolithic exhibit, which sustained significant damage. Emergency crews have since contained the fire, and police continue to investigate the cause of the breach. The museum is closed until further notice, and citizens are advised to steer clear of the area while cleanup operations are underway. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
