The group Animals Lebanon says it rescued Sara the lion cub from abuse by a Lebanese social media influencer, kept it safe in Beirut and sent it to a wildlife sanctuary in South Africa.
For 36 hours, dozens of police, veterinarians and hunters scoured a wooded German suburb while warning residents a lion could be at large. Turns out they may have misjudged a video of the animal.
Dunia, a 7-year-old African lion, gave birth to three females and one male in September. Fans can vote for one of three groups of names on the zoo's website until Monday at midnight.
