Lionesses Rescued in Ukraine Arrive at Edinburgh Zoo

Two lionesses, Luna and Plusza, have been relocated to Five Sisters Zoo in Scotland after being rescued from war-torn Ukraine, where they had been sheltered across multiple countries since their evacuation in 2022. The zoo's head of carnivores emphasized their commitment to providing a safe haven for these animals, continuing a tradition of international rescue efforts. Meanwhile, in Tustin, California, residents reacted to the capture of a mountain lion that had climbed a tree after being startled by a dog. Additionally, in Juárez, Mexico, a lioness was captured after wandering through a neighborhood, raising concerns among locals; authorities are investigating the circumstances of her escape. This incident in Juárez follows other recent wild animal encounters in Mexico, highlighting issues related to exotic pet ownership in urban areas. The lioness from Juárez is now in the custody of federal authorities for further care and investigation.
