From the flooding Tbilisi zoo six lions, six tigers, seven bears and 13 wolves have escaped. On Sunday morning the Georgian Interior Ministry said they mobilized all of their units in order to euthanize and return them to the zoo and advising residents to refrain from any movement on the streets of the city.

Penguins and a hippopotamus, who were found close to Heroes’ Square, managed to return. In addition, three employees of the zoo were killed. It is unclear how they died, possibly by the White Lion “Shumba”. It is unclear how many animals died during this disaster. It is known that a few tigers were shot. Also six wolves were killed because they ran into the territory of a hospital where there were children with infectious diseases.
