Five lions managed a short escape from their enclosure at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo early on Wednesday, prompting the zoo to sound a “code one” alert and rush guests of its “Roar and Snore” overnight stay program to safety. The alert was issued after video footage showed four cubs and one adult lion outside their enclosure at 6.30 a.m. although they were still in an area separated from the rest of the zoo by a six foot fence.
“The zoo has very strict safety protocols in place for such an incident and immediate action was taken,” Taronga Zoo Executive Director Simon Duffy told a news conference. The breach triggered a full lock down, CNN affiliate 9 News reported, noting that alarms were heard between 6:30 and 7:30 am local time. Officers were called to the zoo as a precaution, according to CNN affiliate 7 News.
