Summary:
A 6-month-old lion cub escaped from his exhibit on the same day that the zoo’s two elephants (Chai and Bamboo) were being loaded for shipment to Oklahoma City. A zookeeper left a door open by mistake, allowing the male cub to enter a service area in the feline building, which is inaccessible to the public.
