The Karoo National Park lion that was recaptured last week is likely to be moved out of the park, South African National Parks (SANParks) said on Tuesday.
"The lion is currently in a boma inside the park – fitted with a collar. The likely scenario is that he will be moved out of the Park," SANParks spokesperson, Fayroush Ludick said.
SANParks said it has not yet been decided where the lion's next home will be.
"Another young male from the park will most likely be sent with him," said Ludick.
The animal escaped from the boundaries of the Karoo National Park in mid-February, and was darted in an area around 120 kilometres from the park on Wednesday at 6pm.
