Five Lions Escape From Zoo In Australia

Five lions escaped from their enclosure at Sydney's Taronga Zoo that caused a brief emergency on Wednesday.

According to local officials, one adult lion and four cubs were spotted outside their main exhibit.

The Taronga Zoo in a statement said, "The lions were observed in a small area adjacent to the main exhibit, where a six-foot fence separated them from the rest of the zoo.

"All persons on site were moved to safe zones. Four of the lions calmly returned to their dens, and one cub was safely tranquillized. The cub is now awake and well."

According to the initial report, an integrity issue with a containment fence enabled five lions to temporarily exit their main exhibit, however, the situation was brought under control.
