Possibly renewed a predator in the border area between Berlin and Brandenburg

According to reports from the "Bild" newspaper, the predator they were looking for could have been spotted again in the border area between Berlin and Brandenburg. The Berlin police then reinforced their search in this area with a large contingent. The Brandenburg police also continue their search. It may be a lioness.

In the afternoon, the Königsweg in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district was closed, as the police led the police into the area of ​​the forest cemetery. However, no trace of the animal could be found there. However, the search should also be continued at night. Around 220 police officers as well as veterinary medicine and the city hunters are deployed and a night vision drone is to be used. The police stay in use until the animal is found.

The search for the predator began after an emergency call and a video from Kleinmachnow had been received by the police. Since then, the emergency services have been looking for the runaway cat with a large contingent, which may be a lioness. In Brandenburg, on the border with Berlin, two helicopters and drones were also used. The area of ​​Teltow, Kleinmachnow and Stahnsdorf was searched particularly intensively. Residents were warned of loudspeaker announcements before leaving their apartments.

videos that have been received by the police allegedly show how the predator hunted and hunted a wild boar. There was also further sighting by the police at night. However, neither the predator nor a dead or injured wild boar has been discovered.

The police have checked whether a lioness is missing in zoos, zoo, circuses or animal welfare facilities, but so far without success. The State Office for the Environment Brandenburg has announced that 23 lions from six different animal owners are registered in the state.

In the municipality of Kleinmachnow, the citizens are called up for caution. However, the mayor emphasizes that no panic is necessary and that the citizens should only hold back. For the children, it is recommended not to go out by bike and also avoid other activities outside the house. The mayor assumes that the police have the situation under control and that everything will be done to capture the Löwin without killing them.

A veterinary doctor, however, expresses doubts as to whether it is actually a lioness. He considers it possible but not convinced. The mobile phone recording, which serves as evidence, is out of focus and the light could result in deception. Instead, he relies on the hunting dogs looking for the animal. If these do not find any traces, it would be a strong indication of the hypothesis that it was a lioness.
