In another incident, commuters in Karachi were aghast after they saw a young lion taking a casual stroll on a busy street after it escaped from a car while being transported, Geo News reported. A video that went viral on social media in August earlier this year, shows the lion prowling on the busy street, Sharea Faisal, as cars and people pass by.

After making its escape, the lion entered the building's parking area, according to Geo News. The authorities somehow managed to put the lion inside a cage and sent it to safety. When the police arrived, they advised everyone to keep their distance and avoid the big cat, as reported by Geo News. Law enforcement officers claimed that the lion was being transported in a car when it escaped, and they added that they had detained the driver. Earthquake in Pakistan: Quake of Magnitude 4.1 on Richter Scale Jolts Asian Country.
