A lion escaped from its cage at a Kazakh zoo over the weekend, the second such incident in a month, news media reported Monday.
The six-year-old lion called Adam sneaked out of his cage through a door that had been accidentally left open, Kazakhstan Today news agency reported.
The lion roamed around freely for half an hour before zoo workers lured it back to safety.
Just a month ago, three bears broke out of their enclosure in the same zoo in southern Kazakhstan.
