Five lions escape Australian zoo
Five lions caused a brief emergency at an Australian zoo after they escaped their enclosure.
The lions – one adult and four cubs – were spotted outside their exhibit at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. The lions were quickly secured, and no one was injured.
The zoo had to be put in lockdown and one cub was tranquillised, an official said.
Officials have not yet explained how the animals escaped. But the zoo’s director called it a “significant incident” that would be investigated.
