A lion escaped from a zoo and attacked a man in a Turkish resort town.
In the Turkish resort town of Manavgat, a lion escaped from its enclosure and attacked a 53-year-old farmer who was sleeping on the street. Zeus, a male lion, launched the attack on the man, who had to be hospitalized due to his injuries. The police deployed drones to search for the lion and return it to the zoo.
I heard a rustle. When I lifted the blanket, the lion attacked me... We fought and fought... I grabbed his neck and squeezed. At that moment, he ran away a bit. - Shared the details of the attack, the victim Suleiman Kir.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and representatives of the zoo have so far refrained from commenting. It is worth noting that a similar incident recently occurred in Crimea, which sparked heated discussions and a legal dispute.
