Tiblisi Georgia warning
 

The capital of Georgia has been placed on lockdown after heavy flooding destroyed enclosures at the city's zoo allowing tigers, lions, jaguars, wolves, jackals and a hippo to escape and roam the streets.

Residents in Tbilisi have been warned to stay indoors after more than 30 dangerous animals became free from the zoo after heavy rain and wind.

The flash floods have already killed up to nine people including three workers who are employed at Tbilisi Zoo.

Any word on the rest of the country. Due to cross from Russia this week


No man is truly married until he understands every word his wife is NOT saying.

The rest of the country is probably clear of tigers, lions, jaguars, wolves, jackals and hippo's. :innocent:

Weather around Tbilisi shows good sun / temps with some rain later in the week. For the east side of the country it is described as "unsettled" on most reports.

I have not seen any bad reports or problems elsewhere so far in the GB media. Best bet ask at the border crossing, on Gerorgia side they are usually quite friendly and helpful.

I wouldn't sleep in a tent anywhere near Tbilisi for a while anyway! :rofl:

No think camping around Tbilisi maybe a little fraught with problems. Amazing pictures on the Russian news about it, them pushing a hippo and the bear on a window ledge. Just sad the scale of life lost
