Flash flooding in Tbilisi, Georgia has claimed at least a dozen lives, and devastated the city’s zoo—leaving some 20 wolves, eight lions, six tigers, as well as jaguars and bears missing. Some of the animals are believed to have drowned in the floods, while others are roaming the streets of the capital causing alarm among residents and a sizable challenge for wildlife and law enforcement officials. One lion and several wolves have already been shot dead, and the zoo is pleading with the public and city officials not to kill anymore escaped animals.
