A walker had a funny encounter, Wednesday afternoon, in Vinça, a town in the Pyrénées-Orientales: he came across a lion cub, a few months old, report the services of the gendarmerie of the department.
Informed of this astonishing discovery, the soldiers went to the home of this resident of a local village, who had sheltered the animal, it seems very docile, at home.
An open investigation
The gendarmes took charge of the lion cub, who is in good health, they say. The animal was finally taken care of at the end of the day by professionals.
An investigation was opened to try to determine where this hairball comes from and under what circumstances it was abandoned.
