Four lions escape South Africa’s Kruger Park

The South African National Parks (SANParks) has confirmed that four lions escaped from the Kruger National Park over the weekend.

The lions were last seen near a road a few kilometres away from the park last night.

Officials say it’s not clear at this stage how the big cats managed to escape, given that most of the park is fenced off.

SANParks spokesperson William Mabasa said: “We have received information to that effect and our rangers are currently looking for those animals.”
