STOP PRESS: Lions escape from Nairobi National Park!

NAIROBI, Thursday - Commuters along Nairobi’s Mbagathi Road on Thursday morning got an early morning scare when three lions escaped from the Nairobi National Park and prowled on the roadside. The big cats were reportedly spotted by motorists at around 6am, almost opposite the gate to the Multimedia University College, before KWS officers arrived minutes later to drive them back into the park.

She said that the the last of the cats jumped over the park’s outer barbed-wire, sneaking back into the park beneath live electric inner fence.

Last April, a leopard was spotted in Nairobi’s Eastlands, causing panic among residents. It had killed seven sheep and several dogs in the area, forcing terror-stricken residents to head for home earlier than usual. Unlike then when the wild animal eluded KWS officers for more than a week, the Nairobi National Park’s lions went back into the bushes in less than two hours.
