I think it is a tiger. That place is probably a zoo in China, I'm not sure.

I feel like something like this could easily have happened in Adelaide zoo, which has a similar dynamic with its lions - Mujambi the male suffers from seizures, and had to be kept separate from the lionesses after one of them mauled him. He lives peacefully in his old age with Amani the lioness now, but they still have to be separated at meal times because she completely dominates him.
Five lions managed to escape their enclosure from Taronga Zoo in Sydney this morning. Luckily no guests or animals were harmed, and the lions have all been safely captured and returned.

Video footage of the lions’ “great escape” in Sydney’s Taronga Zoo last month, newly released:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KuCNF8lt41g The father Ato and four cubs (Luzuko, Zuri, Khari and Malika) managed to find a weakness in the fence and squeezed underneath it. They didn’t go very far though - mother Maya stayed behind (with the fifth cub Ayanna) and started frantically calling them, so most of the lion family heeded her roars and made their way back into the enclosure of their own accord (Ato needed a little extra encouragement from the zoo staff). Only one cub, Malika, refused to come back and had to be tranquillised by the emergency response team. The whole thing was under control in only ten minutes. It happened early in the morning before the zoo’s general opening, but dozens of visitors were camping nearby - Taronga zoo has a “Roar and Snore” attraction, allowing visitors to sleep in tents near the lion enclosure. They were woken up by staff shouting “this is a Code One, get out of your tent and run, come now and leave your belongings!” and shepherded into a toilet block. One family was reportedly “thrilled” with the experience, lol. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/we-had-to-run-sydney-family-s-roar-and-snore-ends-with-lions-escaping-enclosure-20221102-p5buwx.html
Charlie the “Bengal” tiger at Australia Zoo, who weighs about 115 kg (despite being dubbed a Bengal tiger by Australia Zoo, Charlie and his siblings are actually Sumatran-Bengal hybrids - more so Sumatran than Bengal):
 *This image is copyright of its original author In 2013, Charlie made headlines when he mauled his keeper, leaving the man in intensive care with injuries to his neck and face. He didn’t blame the tiger for the attack, and returned to working with him the next year. Indeed, a WHS investigation found that the keeper had deliberately over-excited the tiger to put on a “better show” for the watching visitors - a terrible practice.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
A male lion escaped from a circus in Italia. Luckily for him he was caught and sedated.
" A lion prowled the streets of an Italian seaside town for several hours after escaping from a local circus, before being sedated and captured. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Alessandro Grando, the mayor of Ladispoli, near Rome, had told residents to stay at home on Saturday while police and circus staff sought to catch the animal. In a Facebook post at around 10.30pm local time (9.30pm GMT), more than five hours after his original message raising the alarm, Grando said the lion had been “sedated and captured”. "
Following #67:
Male lion escaped from the circus (2): for those who can understand German or Italian language (it happened in Italia and the circus was a german one), all the account explained... "A lion is walking through Ladispoli". " Erinnern Sie sich noch, als im Sommer angeblich ein Löwe Brandenburg unsicher gemacht hat? Zum Glück war es dann doch eine Verwechslung mit einem Wildschwein! DIESMAL aber war der Löwe echt! Er büxte aus einem Zirkus aus und spazierte durch die italienische Kleinstadt Ladispoli nahe Rom. " (Try to imagine if that would have happened during the Summer season... It was possible to confuse it with a wild pig (boar), but it clearly was a true lion ! It escaped from a circus and walkened inside the small city Ladispoli not far from Rome). |
