00:00Five lions escaped from their enclosure during a Sydney Zoo's overnight event.
00:04It just happened so quickly. We were a bit surprised.
00:09Is this part of the action package?
00:12They came running down the tent area saying,
00:15there's a code one. Get out of your tent. Leave your belongings behind.
00:19Run. Come with us. They opened the door. Everyone got in.
00:22They counted us and they locked the door and we were staying inside the building.
00:26Five lions, one adult and four clubs were located outside of their main enclosure at 6.30am.
00:34Four of the lions calmly made their way back into their main exhibit and dens
00:40and one lion cub was safely tranquilised.
00:44All animals are now safe in their back of house exhibit and are being closely monitored.
