Roaming lion tracked down
EZEMVELO KZN Wildlife officials were activated on Wednesday after reports of a male lion roaming the farms in the False Bay area near Hluhluwe.
The lion was located, darted and euthanised by a vet on Thursday.
It is believed the lion, brought in from Namibia some time ago, was ousted from the pride and found its way out of the Hluhluwe-iMfolzoi Park’s Manzibomvu section.
No reports of livestock having been preyed upon by the lion were received.
The incident is being investigated by the authorities.
