This is not the first time an animal has escaped at Taronga Zoo: In January 2021, a chimpanzee escaped but made its own way back inside
After watching the sun set over Sydney’s historic harbour, the guests attending the “Roar and Snore” experience at Taronga Zoo lay down in their safari-style tents, lulled to sleep by the sounds of the nearby animals. Shortly after dawn Wednesday, however, they were woken by zoo staff, who rushed them away.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Video footage shows Ato, an adult male, and four of his year-old cubs escaped into an area next to the main exhibit. Fortunately for the zoo’s staff and visitors, four of the five lions “calmly” made their way back to their dens, while the remaining cub was safely tranquilized and returned to the den, Taronga Zoo said in a statement.
