Drones and animal trackers continue the hunt for a suspected lioness on the loose in a suburb of Berlin. Though some experts have said they aren't sure the animal was a lioness at all.
Ednews informs via DW that some 220 police officers were combing the southern outskirts of Berlin on Friday for any sign of the suspected lioness spotted first on Wednesday evening in Kleinmachnow, near the German capital. Veterinarians and hunters were supporting the authorities in the search while drones, helicopters and thermal imaging cameras were also part of the operation.
However, so far, there was no sign of the suspected lioness.
The search for the free-roaming feline predator in Berlin and Brandenburg would be supported by professional animal trackers, the mayor of Kleinmachnow, Michael Grubert, announced.
"It can't go on like this for days," Grubert said, referring to the large-scale police operation.
