Borno・Maiduguri：洪水に見舞われた動物園から動物たちが大脱走

　洪水に見舞われたBorno。どうも動物園にも直撃し、一部の動物が逃げ去ってしまって―ダチョウが大通りを闊歩するのはかわいらしいがおおい。クロコダイルはマズいだろう。

「Officials from a zoo in north-east Nigeria have confirmed that some wild animals had escaped from captivity after flooding hit Borno state.」

　そんな風に逃げたなら、人間への危害の可能性はともかく―だが、ライオンやハイエナの檻は無事に保持されてしまったようで―水没して安否不明。

「He also said the cages where the lions and hyenas were kept had been submerged by floodwaters but cannot tell if they had escaped.」

　―いやまあ、そんなのんが闊歩してたら、下手したら射殺以外なくなっちゃうわけですが、いやしかしなあ。

「Videos of some of the creatures on the streets of the state capital, Maiduguri, have been widely shared on social media.」

「“We’ve been able to recapture the ostrich seen on the street and we also got a call that a crocodile had been found in another location but we cannot get there due to the floods,” he said.」

　なんにせよ、この記事時点で民間人の動物による被害は存しないそう。

「Up to now. there have not been any reports of animals attacking humans.」
