‘Stay at home’ – Tiger escapes US zoo after tornado

Date:

Several tornadoes swept through the southern United States this weekend, killing dozens. In the general chaos, it has now become known that a tiger has also escaped from a zoo in the US state of Georgia and is likely to roam the area around the safari park.

“Stay indoors if possible,” Pine Mountain officials said. The reason: after the tornado, there was no tiger left in the local safari park. It is now clear: the big cat was able to escape from the enclosure.

Zoo confirmed the absence of the tiger
The zoo itself confirmed the absence of a tiger, but it is currently unclear where the animal is. The zoo was hit hard by the tornado on Saturday and announced on its Facebook page that it would not open until further notice. The Wild Animal Safari Zoo is home to 65 exotic animal species and visitors can drive through the enclosures in their car.

Mississippi hit hard
The tornadoes hit the US state of Mississippi particularly hard, with at least 26 fatalities. Dozens were injured over the weekend, according to civil defense officials. US President Joe Biden has declared the affected region a disaster.
