The depth of the forest always holds surprises and secrets, even in a region like Greater Berlin. In the south of the federal capital, near the Brandenburg municipality of Kleinmachnow, emergency services were looking for an escaped lioness on Thursday morning. It was initially unclear where the animal could have come from. Conjectures that it could be a big cat from a circus were rejected by Michel Ramon Rogall from the circus, which has pitched its tents nearby. “That’s complete nonsense. Well, that’s totally far-fetched. This animal has by no means escaped from a circus, because in Germany – apart from the Circus Krone – no one is out with wild animals at the moment. So there aren’t any lions or tigers out and about. And in East Germany at the moment here on our side in the east, there are no circuses out and about with wild animals. And they wouldn’t escape either.” Ramon says he and a few other animal teachers watched a video circulating on the Internet that was supposed to show the animal. “We didn’t see a lion there. We’re really sorry. Whatever that is. But it’s not a lion, because it was said to be viral: it’s eating a wild boar. Where is the carcass of the wild boar that you could see it? Whatever animal it may be, it hadn’t been found on Thursday morning. The Brandenburg police asked residents in the Kleinmachnow, Teltow and Stahnsdorf areas not to leave the house because of an escaped wild animal and also to bring the pets in. More

It’s actually a serious matter: in the south of Berlin, a lioness may be walking around freely. Jokes are still being made about the situation online.

It’s actually not a funny situation: there may be a big cat on the loose near Berlin. At least that seems to be proven by a video that is currently doing the rounds: you can see how a large, sand-colored cat of prey is standing in the high grass at night on the side of a road, which apparently has killed and eaten a wild boar. Extremely worrying news for people living south of the capital – police are currently searching for the animal and are telling residents to stay indoors.

While a free-roaming lioness obviously poses a real threat to humans, many netizens (who probably don’t live in the affected area…) also saw the funny side of the unusual situation. And since neither humans nor lions have been harmed so far, which we hope will remain the case, we have collected the most amusing tweets about the “Löwengate von Berlin” for you.

Lioness in Berlin: Twitter jokes about a big cat

Of course we hope that the cat of prey can be found soon and moved to a new, safer home. In the context of the current state of alarm, animal protection organizations have already pointed out that Germany could use stricter laws on animal husbandry so that such an incident does not happen again in the near future – the escaped lioness apparently does not come from a zoo or animal park, where her absence would have been quickly noticed and reported. It is likely to have come from semi-legal private ownership – and the owner does not seem to have reported this anywhere.

Anyone who lives in the affected area south of Berlin should definitely exercise caution and stay within their own four walls, despite their curiosity. Until the police can finally give the all-clear.
