Die Suche nach einer vermeintlichen Löwin in Kleinmachnow, südlich von Berlin, ist beendet. Die Behörden gaben am Freitag Entwarnung und stellten die Suche ein. Es stellte sich heraus, dass es sich bei dem Tier auf dem Handyvideo, das die Suche ausgelöst hatte, um ein Wildschwein handelt. Die Suche hatte einen großen Aufwand mit sich gebracht: Hunderte Polizeibeamte, das Veterinäramt und Jagdpächter waren im Einsatz gewesen, Hubschrauber und Drohnen wurden eingesetzt und Straßen und Wälder kontrolliert. Die Suche wurde am Donnerstag ausgelöst, als ein Zeuge ein Video von dem Tier zwischen Büschen und Bäumen gemacht hatte. Die Ermittlungsbehörden hielten das Video …

The search for a supposed lioness in Kleinmachnow, south of Berlin, has ended. The authorities gave the all -clear on Friday and hired the search. It turned out that the animal was a wild boar on the cell phone video that the search had triggered. The search had brought a lot of effort: hundreds of police officers, the veterinary office and hunting tenant were deployed, helicopters and drones were used and streets and forests were checked.

The search was triggered on Thursday when a witness had made a video of the animal between bushes and trees. The investigative authorities considered the video to be real and initially suspected that it was a runy lionin. However, experts expressed doubts about this assumption early on. Neither blood nor feces or paw prints indicated that the animal was in the region. The veterinarian Achim Gruber from the Free University of Berlin also expressed doubts about the Lion theory.

On Friday, the authorities officially gave the all -clear. There was no acute danger and the population was not in danger, said the Mayor of Kleinmachnow. Two experts had checked the video material independently and came to the conclusion that it was a wild boar. The chairman of the Berlin Nature Conservation Association, Rainer Altenkamp, ​​also believes that it is more of a wild boar. The traces of a wild boar can be clearly recognized on the video recordings.

The search for the supposed Löwin had caused a sensation and caused high costs. The police union criticized the commitment as an expensive "Safari" and called for a nationwide prohibition of the private attitude of dangerous wild animals. The police defended the effort and emphasized that information on an acute danger situation had been available.

The authorities justified themselves for the wrong alarm and said that the risk situation had justified the use of the police. The police continue to be present in the region, although there is no longer any acute danger. A hair analysis should now clarify whether it was actually a lioness. An institute for animal pathology in Berlin examines hair that was found on a tree and are supposed to come from the animal they are looking for. The result will be expected in the coming week.

Overall, the search for the supposed Löwin was an elaborate use, which ultimately turned out to be a false alarm. However, the authorities are convinced that they acted properly and that the safety of the population came first. Now everyone can feel reassured and check the search for the supposed lioness as a curious event.
