It's been done before with Sylvester the Lion who, after having escaped from the Karoo National Park (Western Cape) twice, was relocated to northern Addo Elephant National Park (Eastern Cape) where he, his coalition partner and pride have been-and still are-flourishing.

Worst case scenario, Mo gets shot.

How can a big male lion escape Kruger multiple times, in 2 different spots?? Ok i get it at Mjejane, he found the spot and get out, it happens, but now he repeat it at completley different location.. 

Are fences in Kruger in such a bad state overall? That lion can get out at his will? 

If thats the case, then prob good portion of nomadic and young males also have the same fate, they can just as easily escape the fences and then get killed by locals/poachers..

I would imagine that since GKNP is such a vast area, there would also be a lot of fences that have weaknesses that can be exploited by escaping animals and poachers alike.

Also, warthogs are infamous here for burrowing under fences thus creating openings for larger animals to escape through.

You would find more stable fences and infrastructure in and around the private reserves such as Sabi Sands but the state-run infrastructure (not just in conservation but in general) has seen much better days. Reply
