From the News: Lion Escape at Taronga Zoo

Lion's escape at Sydney's Taronga zoo, campers rushed to safety

Earlier this week, five lions - one adult male and his cubs - managed to escape from their enclosure at Sydney's Taronga Zoo (a lot of the headlines go for the sensational and just say five lions without mentioning that four were youngsters).  The escape happened with a zoo camp was in session, requiring some emergency intervention from the staff.   Fortunately, no one - human or feline - was harmed, and the animals were quickly and safely returned to their habitat.  It's situations like this that zoo staff train for, though with the hope that the training is never needed.
