Yerevan Zoo support group travels to Tbilisi
A support group of four was delegated from Yerevan Zoo to Tbilisi on Sunday to provide necessary assistance to their Georgian colleagues, according to the Facebok page of Yerevan Zoo.
Lions, tigers and even a hippopotamus escaped from a zoo in the Georgian capital Tbilisi Sunday, adding to chaos caused by severe flooding that killed at least 12 people. Police and soldiers were hunting down the animals, recapturing some and shooting others dead, while rescuers airlifted scores of people trapped by the floods. Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili warned Tbilisi residents to stay indoors while the zoo animals were still on the loose.
