The entire zoo had been locked down in an emergency

On November 2, alarms sounded and the entire zoo was put on emergency lockdown due to the escape.

"This is a significant incident and a full review is underway to determine how the lions were able to exit their main enclosure," site manager Simon Duffy said.

An investigation is underway to try to determine the flaws that allowed the lions to dress up.

An expert is said to have already advised the zoo to install lattice fences.

The five lions have remained out of sight since the incident.

They shouldn't be back in their pen before Christmas.
