The massive operation involves over 100 police officers, as well as helicopters and thermal-imaging cameras.
GERMAN POLICE TODAY extended the search for a wild animal believed to be a lioness roaming the outskirts of Berlin more than 24 hours since the last reported sighting.
Police continued combing the streets of suburban communities southwest of Berlin in the small hours of this morning using night-vision goggles and drones but called off a forest search until daybreak, a spokesman said. A reporter for RBB said that the 32 registered lions in Brandenburg state surrounding Berlin were accounted for, leaving police to ask whether the beast had been kept illegally.Despite numerous tips from citizens, including a few claiming to have heard a loud roar, none of the information had led to the animal being located so far, police said.
Despite the reported sightings by the passers-by and police, wild animal expert Derk Ehlert voiced doubt it was actually a lioness on the loose due to the absence of any trace of the beast since early Thursday.It’s not the first time Germans have been told to be on the lookout for wild animals.
