    On Wednesday, children in the Rostov region of Russia found a 5-month old Lion cub that escaped on its way to a zoo, and brought it to school.
    Russian Kids Find Lion Cub Escaped From Zoo, Bring It To School
    The lion cub was on its way to a zoo in Dagestan; does anyone have any idea which zoo this might be? I know absolutely nothing about Russian zoos.

    A woman in Dagestan ordered this cub for her private zoo, bit it escaped while being delivered. She didn't claim it yet, probably because she has no papers on this animal.
    Now the cub resides in Rostov zoo, it's not exhibited yet.
