South Africa issues warning after lion escapes

South African authorities have issued a warning to the public after a lion escaped from the Karoo National Park.

It was the second time the lion escaped from the same park, the South African National Parks (SANParks) said.

In 2015, the three-year-old male lion escaped through a hole in a fence at the park after heavy rain in the area.

The animal killed 28 sheep, a cow and a kudu. It was captured later and sent back to the park.

But the animal escaped again earlier this week, this time by crawling under an electric fence after heavy rains in the area once again.
