"Five lions who broke out of Taronga Zoo this morning have returned to their enclosure after they discovered the cost of getting a one-bedroom knockdown in the outer suburbs would set them back over a million dollars."

ABC radio news yesterday afternoon very much amused me when they reported the lions "were returned to the safety of their enclosure".
I don't think the lions were unsafe at any time! However the people in their vicinity may well have been :)

"In 2009, a lioness escaped its enclosure at Mogo Zoo, south of Sydney, and had to be shot dead because of the danger it posed to the public."

There are too many lions on the loose. As for real people, I've learnt to despise most of them. If I had enough money, I would live like a recluse.

They were trying to get the next bus out of Sydney but the cubs were hungry and the big M was full of high cholesterol snacks at that time of the morning.

It depends on your point of view.

Much better pickings back at the zoo.

The zoo later on Wednesday said an integrity issue led to the lions escaping.
