The panther is still hungry and begins to look for more humans. As he is doing so he notices a threatening looking metallic vehicle with a narrow tube attached to it. When it points at him he jumps out of the way. It emitted a loud noise and produced a ball of flame larger than his head where he had just been standing. That probably would have killed me the panther thought to himself.
He begins to make himself big enough to counter this new threat. The tank crew was amazed to see the already titanic panther soar to at least 800 feet in height. The tank fired one more shot at the panther before it was crushed by a single toe.
The shot did not do any real damage to the panther as the shot impacted the sensitive pad on his foot. It still stung though. So the panther grew himself an additional 200 feet.
The meal in his stomach did not get any larger and this left him starving. He looked around and saw that he had demolished most of the cages in the zoo and many of the animals were free. There were no humans left in the zoo though. But, at 1000 feet in height it is not that difficult to spot thousands of humans fleeing in the distance. There is not much he cannot see over now.
