Taronga Zoo: Five lions escape exhibit at Sydney zoo
By Tiffanie TurnbullBBC News, Sydney
Five lions have sparked a brief emergency at an Australian zoo after escaping from their enclosure.
The Animals - One adult and four cubs - were spotted outside their exhibit at Sydney's Taronga Zoo About 6:30 local time on Wednesday (22:30 GMT Tuesday).
The Zoo was put in lockdown And One cub had to be tranquillised but all lions were secured within minutes, a spokesman said. No-One was injured.
An explanation for The Escape has not been given.
But zoo Executive Director Simon Duffy called it a " significant incident" that would be investigated.
He told local media The Lions had entered a small area " adjacent" to their exhibit - About 100m from where guests were staying at The Zoo overnight. The main zoo was closed at The Time .
" At no time did The Lions exit that [adjacent] area or exit Taronga Zoo, " He Said .
Mr Duffy added the small area was protected by a six-foot fence usually used to keep people at a safe distance, and the entire zoo was surrounded by a perimeter fence.
CCTV footage had shown that a keeper raised The Alarm within 10 Minutes of The Escape , The Zoo said.
Staff responded quickly to move all people on The Site to safe locations, according to Mr Duffy. Four of The Lions " calmly made their way back" to their enclosure.
The Lion exhibit will remain closed until further inspections to make sure it is "100% safe" Mr Duffy added.
Animal escapes at Australian zoos are rare.
In 2009, a lioness escaped its enclosure at Mogo Zoo , south of Sydney, and had to be shot dead because of the danger it posed to The Public .
