悉尼一动物园5头狮子离家出走“未遂”

Sydney’s Taronga Zoo has offered an explanation as to how five lions managed to escape their enclosure on Wednesday morning, however many questions still remain about the incident.

Five lions were found in a small space outside of their main exhibit at about 6:30 am, sending the whole zoo into lockdown(封锁). About 50 guests taking part in the zoo’s ‘Roar and Snore’ overnight camping experience were on site at the time of the incident. Some of the guests were forced to hide in a bathroom for almost 90 minutes. Four of the five lions that escaped made their own way back into the exhibit, however one of the lions had to be tranquilised(注射镇静剂).

Cammeray Public School year 4 student Cayla Piegay was one of the zoo’s ‘Roar and Snore’ guests at the time of the escape, and the overnight trip was her first ever school camp.When she was told five lions escaped, she felt it was fun and scary. Cayla’s teacher David Dempsey said he kept his 30 students calm during the lockdown by doing yoga and silent games. “But as we began to feel a little bit bored after an hour and a quarter, we just sat and chatted,” he said. “It was a great adventure for the kids and they learn to stay calm when facing problems.”

Executive director Simon Duffy said video camera footage(镜头) confirmed that it took less than 10 minutes for a full emergency response to begin after the lions escaped. He confirmed the lions are now in a secure location at the zoo and will not enter their main exhibit again until a full review is conducted. “I am very proud of and want to thank all of our staff and guests that were on-site this morning, who acted calmly and ensured a successful result, making it possible for us to open at our usual time,” said Duffy.
