Sydney’s Taronga Zoo says five lions escaped their enclosure earlier this week due to a failure of mesh wire fence fastenings, early reports suggest.
The zoo said in a statement on Friday afternoon that a comprehensive report was still being prepared, but that early indications suggested that was how the big cats left their exhibit.
"While we await the full engineering report, early indications suggest that the lions were able to exit the exhibit when fastenings on the mesh wire fence failed," it said.
