Berlin — Police in Berlin began a large-scale search Wednesday evening for a wild animal believed to be on the loose in the German capital. It's thought to be a lioness. The animal was last seen on the southern outskirts of the city, and police were searching a forest area there as emergency workers scoured the ground from helicopters and drones.
Berlin police said they learned about the wild animal from witnesses.
"Around midnight, the message came in, which we all could not imagine. Two men saw an animal running after another," police spokesman Daniel Kiep told local media. "One was a wild boar and the other was apparently a wild cat, a lioness. The two men also recorded a video and even experienced police officers confirmed that it is probably a lioness".
