Alarms blared throughout the zoo and guests were rushed to safety before the lions were tracked down and returned safely to their exhibit. The zoo's executive director Simon Duffy told reporters one lion cub had to be tranquilized. Taronga Zoo — set in a leafy, affluent neighborhood with views of Sydney's famous opera house and harbor bridge — said it would be opening as normal later in the day. Zookeepers were seen probing the fences of the lion enclosure for signs of damage.The zoo has two adult lions, mother Maya and father Ato, as well as their five cubs named Khari, Luzuko, Malika, Zuri and Ayanna.
A two-year-old Bengal tiger escaped its enclosure at Taronga Zoo in 1946, roaming the grounds in what a newspaper described as a"frenzy of fear" before it was shot and killed by a zoo keeper.
