德國動物園多隻猛獸借暴雨逃出 現已被抓回

Two lions, two tigers and a jaguar that escaped their enclosures at a zoo in western Germany have been recaptured.

日前，從德國西部一家動物園的籠子裏逃出來的兩頭獅子、兩隻老虎和一隻豹子，已經被重新抓了回去。

A bear also escaped from the privately owned Eifel zoo, but was shot dead, a local official told AFP.

一名當地官員告訴法新社，一隻熊也從這家歸私人所有的埃菲爾動物園逃了出來，但最後被槍殺。

The animals broke out after flooding from a storm damaged their enclosures.

在暴風雨淹沒了動物園並導致籠子遭到破壞之後，這些動物趁機跑了出來。

A massive search was then launched involving police, firefighters and veterinarians.

警察、消防員和獸醫隨即開展了一場大規模的搜索行動。

Owned by the Wallpott family, the 30-hectare (74-acre) zoo is home to nearly 400 animals of 60 species, including Siberian tigers and lions.

這家爲沃爾普特家族所有、佔地30公頃（74英畝）的動物園，擁有近60種不同物種的400只動物，其中包括了西伯利亞虎和獅子。

It was first established in 1965 with only dogs, donkeys and a wild boar, according to the zoo's website, and is visited by 70,000 people a year.

根據動物園的網站介紹，它最初於1965年建立，當時只有狗、驢和野豬這些動物。該動物園每年有7萬人參觀。

Friday's escape comes two years after two lions broke out of their cages at a zoo in Leipzig in eastern Germany. One was shot dead and the other recaptured.

兩年前，德國東部城市萊比錫的一家動物園的兩隻獅子，也是從籠子裏逃了出來，結果一隻被射殺，另一隻則被抓了回去。
