CAPE TOWN - A lion has escaped from the Karoo National Park and the South African National Parks believes the animal escaped through a hole in a fence last Friday.

The animal made its way through Victory Park, Delta Park and Blairgowrie before residents and officials managed to corner it in on Olympic Road.
The animal was darted with a tranquilizer gun by zoo officials and taken to the Johannesburg Zoo hospital before being released into the wild.

In 2010, Panjo the tiger shot to fame after escaping from his owner's bakkie and spending two days on the prowl.
He was later found wandering in the woods outside Bronkhorstspruit.
