South Africa in search of a missing lioness

Following a lioness escape from a container in North West province, the South African police department has issued warnings to nearby residents.

According to reports, the lioness escaped while being transported on the back of a vehicle by its owner.

It’s unclear precisely when or how the large cat broke out from the shipping container; the owner was only made aware of the situation upon arrival in Tlakgameng, according to local media.

The lioness is said to have escaped from a container while on transit

Workers at nature reserves and farmers are looking for the wild cat.

The officials in charge of wildlife protection have requested information from anyone who witnesses the lioness.

It follows two separate instances last month in the province of Gauteng in which two tigers escaped their confines.
