A lion has escaped from the Jos Wild Life Park on Wednesday, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

According to Mr John Doy, the Acting General Manager, Plateau Toursim Corporation, the lion escaped “at about 8 a.m. while it was being fed”.



Doy said that the lion, which had been caged since 1972,“ slipped through the gate of the cage when it was opened for its routine feeding”.

“The animal is still within the vicinity of the Park but our fear is that the Park is not fenced.

“We are struggling to recapture it, but we want members of the public to be vigilant,” he said.

Lol , what is the average life span of a caged lion?

Lions live for about 10-16 years in the wild. While in captivity they live for as long as 20-25 years old. This is because in captivity they are entertained and fed properly. In Nigeria, I don't KNOW!!!
