By AFPMore by this AuthorJOHANNESBURGFour male lions escaped over the weekend from South Africa's famed Kruger National Park, officials said, two months after five others slipped out. Kruger Park, which borders Zimbabwe and Mozambique, is home to about 1,500 lions, and nearly the size of Belgium. Animals sometimes slip past the barrier fences, especially during the dry winter season. Two months ago, five other lions escaped from the park. Officials said animals usually sneaked out through dry river beds, or used holes dug out by other animals near the fences.
