Lions and tigers break out of zoo cages in western Germany | |
(35 minutes later) | |
German police are advising residents in the western town of Lünebach to stay inside their homes after two lions, two tigers, a jaguar and a bear broke out of their cages in a local zoo. | |
Police killed the bear and said all the escaped animals were believed to still be on the grounds of the zoo, near the border with Luxembourg and Belgium, but residents should stay inside until they could be sure. | |
Local broadcaster SWR had initially reported that lions and pumas had broken out of the zoo, but police were able to determine that the missing animals were two lions, two tigers and a jaguar, the dpa news agency reported. | |
The zoo did not answer calls and police did not have any further details about the developing situation. | |
It was not clear how and when the animals escaped. | |
