LION ON THE LOOSE NEAR BERLIN

A lion was on the loose near Berlin on Thursday. It was spotted in the town of Kleinmachnow on the southwestern outskirts of the city, feeding on what was likely a wild boar around midnight. Police contacted local animal parks, zoos and circuses but none were missing a lion. Meanwhile, more than a hundred police officers, veterinarians, hunters, drones and helicopters joined the search, while the public were warned to keep their pets inside. Kleinmachnow Mayor Michael Grubert said that the animal was “still on the run and has not been found yet.” He said children should not walk outside unless they are accompanied.
* Accompanied by another person, or accompanied by some dark, foreboding music?
* Good idea. Two people is more bait for the lion.
* No animal parks, zoos or circuses are missing a lion. Maybe it’s some badass’s emotional support animal?
* At least the town of Kleinmachnow has one less wild boar.
* What’s German for “Circle of Life”?
* In America, you know where we keep our lions? Maine.
[NOTE: Morning Sidekick has a sister who lives in, of all places, Kleinmachnow, and she verified all this Thursday morning before it made American news! (At least Morning Sidekick hopes he still has a sister in Kleinmachnow.)]
