Look I have literally no idea what was going on, but I think this is what happened?

before I go to bed, here is what we know about the lion loose in Brandenburg rn (a summary for those who don't speak german)
There's a lion loose in the state of Brandenburg, Germany, near Berlin. Possibly. Probably.
I say "probably" - she was spotted for the first time last night around midnight by two men. They saw an animal hunting another animal - the animal being hunted was a wild boar. And the one doing the hunting looked to them like a big cat.
They also took a video but sadly it's short and poor quality; but it does show a pretty big animal that seems to me (not a zoologist) to look an awful lot like a big cat. It has since been spotted by police and firefighters as well, but definite proof has not yet been discovered.
The police, fire department, volunteer firefighters, gamekeepers, other hunters, and several veterinarians spent all day looking, several hundred people in total.
They also used helicopters and drones.
No success so far.
The plan seems to be to capture the lion alive if it is at all possible.
Search will pause over night, but police will still patrol the affected area. Tomorrow they want to resume and use specially trained dogs, too.
There's apparently 23 officially registered lions living in Brandenburg. All of them are accounted for, and no owner has come forward and reported a missing animal yet. It's legal to privately keep lions in Brandenburg, as long as the owner registers them; whether someone does that is another question. Cubs can be bought semi-legal on the internet and nobody is going around checking people's houses for big cats. It's very possible that this animal escaped from someone's backyard.
Speaking of which, there was a similar case in Saxony, I believe, a few years back, when two juvenile lions escaped from a normal apartment where they had been kept. So. Not unheard of.
more on this as it develops

Jeder in Deutschland: fragt sich, wo auf einmal mitten in Berlin ein Löwe herkommt
Karlheinz, 52, hat wohl gestern die Tür zur Gartenlaube nicht richtig zugemacht, nachdem er seinem kleinen Liebling die tägliche Ladung tote Karnickel vorbei gebracht hat:

Almost late to the party here:
A lioness is on the loose in Berlin and probably Brandenburg.
But more importantly: Barbie or Oppenheimer?
Only in Berlin and certain places in Brandenburg.
