A young lion captured after being on the run for almost a month spent the night in a South African police cell before being moved back to its national park home.
一頭在逃將近一個月後被捕的幼獅，被運回位在國家公園的故鄉以前，先在南非一處警察局的拘留室度過長夜。
The juvenile male apparently escaped from the Karoo National Park through a hole in a perimeter fence. He was eventually tracked and darted on Wednesday before being moved by helicopter to the Sutherland police station where he ended up alone in a holding cell.
這個小男生明顯是從「乾旱台地高原國家公園」周邊圍欄一處洞口逃跑。牠最終還是在週三被發現蹤跡並遭標槍射中，後來被直升機運到薩瑟蘭警察局，獨自待在拘留室裡。
"I am sure this is the first time in the world that a lion is put in jail," said police station commander Marius Malan.
警局大隊長馬略斯‧馬蘭說：「我確定這是全球第一次獅子入獄。」
Curious residents of the village of Sutherland thronged outside the police station to catch a glimpse of the locked-up lion.
薩瑟蘭村好奇的居民們，在警局外爭相一窺這頭被囚禁的獅子。
"He is safe and healthy. We didn’t give him breakfast because he had enough to eat along the road," Malan told Reuters.
馬蘭告訴路透：「牠安全又健康。我們沒給牠早餐，因為牠一路上已經有足夠的東西可吃。」
