A South African lion called "Sylvester", who was on the loose for three weeks last year, has escaped from his game reserve again and is wandering a sparsely-populated mountain region, South African National Parks (SANParks) said on Tuesday.
南非國家動物園週二說，一隻去年逃逸3週、名為「希爾維斯特」的獅子，再次從其動物保護區溜走，且正在一處人口稀少的山區徘徊。
The big cat probably broke out by crawling under an electric fence after heavy rains dislodged earth over the weekend, SANParks spokeswoman Fayroush Ludick told Reuters.
南非國家動物園發言人費勞許．魯迪克告訴路透，這隻大貓大概是趁週末大雨鬆動土地後，從一處電子圍籬底下鑽出逃跑。
"We realized early yesterday morning when they check all the satellite tracking collars that he had escaped. We are awaiting a helicopter to begin an aerial search," Ludick said.
魯迪克說：「我們昨天一早知道這件事，當他們檢查了所有衛星追蹤項圈，牠已經跑走了。我們正在等直升機到來，以啟動空中搜索。」
The likelihood of him encountering a human being were slim, Ludick said, but urged people not to approach Sylvester should they come across him.
牠遇到人類的可能性微乎極微，魯迪克說，但敦促民眾，萬一發現希爾維斯特，切勿接近牠。
"It’s the very same lion that escaped last year. I think we should change his name to Houdini," Ludick added, referring to the famous Hungarian-American illusionist and escape artist.
魯迪克補充說道：「牠就是去年逃脫的同一隻獅子。我覺得我們該把牠的名字改成胡迪尼」，意指具有美國籍的匈牙利知名幻術師暨脫逃大師。
Last June, the animal nicknamed Sylvester, went on a sheep killing spree, wandering 300 kms before he was found taking a nap by rangers and airlifted from the Nuweveld Mountains, 1,750 meters above sea level.（Reuters）
去年6月，這隻綽號叫希爾維斯特的動物，在被國家公園管理員發現於海拔1750公尺的紐沃費爾德山上打盹而被空運下山以前，曾大肆屠殺羊隻並漫遊300公里。（路透）
