The Kenya Wildlife Service has issued an update on the lions that had reportedly run loose in the Rongai area of Kajiado County.
In a statement on Monday evening, KWS revealed that rangers had finally caught up with the third and final lioness, which had eluded capture for weeks.
KWS confirmed that the lioness had unique features, identifying it as the one they had been searching for since earlier in January. "Yesterday, a lioness was captured in Sorora Drive, Rimpa, Kajiado North by the KWS PAC team," KWS revealed. "Confirmed by her distinctive ear notch, she is believed to be the mother of the two lions captured earlier in the same area." A Lion Spotted at a Plot in OngataRongai, Nairobi on July 28, 2021.
