Wild animals including lions, tigers, bears, jaguars, wolves and other
animals escaped from their zoo this morning after serious flood and are
currently roaming the streets of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia (a
country
at the intersection of Europe and Asia). According to
officials in the city capital, the flooding has killed at least 8 people
and several animals in the zoo died. The ones that didn't die in the
flood, which happened after a river burst its banks in central Tbilisi after hours of torrential rain,
are
now roaming the streets. Dozens of families are now without shelter
after their homes were flooded and cars swept away. Thousands of people
are currently left without water and electricity.
Some of the animals that escaped from their enclosure have been
captured by security forces while the more dangerous one have been shot
dead. See some photos after the cut...
Security forces
have killed six escaped wolves in the garden of Children's Hospital. At
least 1 lion was killed earlier.
Can you see the crocodile? Utterly devastating flood. OMG!
