SOUTH AFRICA ON FIRE AS FOUR LION'S EXCAPE ZOO

South African officers on Monday kept hunting down four male lions that gotten away from the nation's lead Kruger National Park, a representative for the national natural life parks said.

SANParks representative William Mabasa said that the lions were seen almost a street a couple of kilometers from the recreation center.

It was not known how the lions escaped the recreation center, a large portion of which is fenced.

The Tourism and Parks Agency of Mpumalanga region, where part of the Kruger Park is found, said it was helping officers and police in their pursuit.

"We ask the groups to be ready and illuminate us of any sightings,'' said Johannes Nobunga, CEO of the office.

"The landscape in which the hunt is being led represents a few difficulties for the group, be that as it may we will keep on working with cultivate proprietors and the group in the region to furnish us with any data that will help us with this operation,'' he included an announcement.

The escape of the four lions took after that of five lions in May.

Four of them were caught and reclaimed to the recreation center, yet the fifth one has not been discovered,'' Mabasa said it might have come back to the recreation center without anyone else's input.

He said that lions every so often meander out of the Kruger Park, an untamed life territory the extent of Israel.

"In some cases a whole year goes without lions getting away, and in different years we have a couple of instances of them getting away,'' Mabasa said.
