Hunting of escaped lions in South Africa

Armed Foresters and agents search around the South African Kruger Park to five escaped lions.

'We think it's about five lions. They are in the sugar cane fields at the border with Mozambique, 'said a spokesman for the park. The animals can pose a danger to residents and cattle in the area, where there are several villages and farms.

It's not the first time a lion escapes from a wildlife park in the country. In 2015, the lion Sylvester succeeded in crawling an electric fence. After that he spent a lot of money on sheep in the area for weeks. Bushmen finally found Sylvester while the predator took a nap.
