The police are still looking for the escaped wild animal in the area around Kleinmachnow south of Berlin. According to the police, it is most likely a lioness. “We are on site with massive forces to protect the population,” said a spokeswoman for the West police department. The police called on people to be careful and avoid walking in the woods. But there is no curfew, it said.
A spokeswoman for the Potsdam-Mittelmark district said there was a veterinarian on site and two hunters with weapons. When the animal is found, a decision is made as to whether to use anesthetic or shoot it. “That will be decided depending on the situation.” The search for the predator is a big challenge, said the spokeswoman.
