100 kilo lioness escaped from the vehicle which was transferring her to Italy.

A-92 motorway was closed to traffic near Loja, Granada province, on Saturday morning, after a 100 kilo lioness escaped from the vehicle which was transferring her to Italy. The alarm was raised by passing motorists shortly after 9am on Saturday, and the Sevilla-bound carriageway was closed off after the animal was found calmly wandering along the road at kilometre 191 of the A-92.
Experts from the Junta de Andalucía’s environmental department brought the lioness down with tranquiliser darts when she came to a halt beneath an almond tree, and she was taken to an animal shelter in Pinos Genil to await collection by her owners.
The lioness is reported by Ideal newspaper to have been born on a private finca in Cádiz province.
