Mr Perri recalled being startled by the zoo staff. “They came running down the tent area saying that there’s a code one, get out of your tent, leave your belongings behind,” he said. Meanwhile, the zoo’s executive director, Mr Duffy, said the lions breached one of two containment fences inside the enclosure. He also announced that besides the investigation into how the lions escaped their enclosure, the lion exhibit will be closed until staff “make sure it is 100 per cent safe”.
The zoo will be open as normal today, Mr Duffy said, adding that further details will be shared when possible. Local media later reported that dozens of school groups and members of the public entered the zoo later on Wednesday morning as usual.
