Lion breaks out of Memphis Zoo

Earlier this morning a lion was found in the parking lot of the Memphis zoo, it had been digging under the fence and eventually made a large enough hole to go under the fence. It escaped on the left side and made its way into the lot, two families saw it as they were exiting. One women said that the lion turned its head and made eye contact with her, but she and her family got in their car and escaped. Once the staff figured out what was happening they locked down the zoo and brought out tranquilizer guns to take down the lion and bring it back into the perimeter.
