Wild Animal Safari park in Pine Mountain reported that it sustained “extensive tornado damage.”
In a Facebook post, the Wild Animal Safari park in Pine Mountain wrote that it sustained “extensive tornado damage.” No staff or animals were injured but “several animal enclosures” were breached and “two tigers briefly escaped,” said the park. Since then, both big cats have been “found, tranquilized, and safely returned to a safe enclosure.” Wild Animal Safari, a drive-through park, is home to over 75 species of animals housed on 250 acres of land, its website says.
The park announced that it was closed for Sunday on Facebook. “We have sustained damage at the park and will not be open today,” the post said. “We are working diligently to keep our team and animals safe and will update with more news as it is available.” The storm came after a tornado warning was issued for parts of Georgia, including southeastern Troup County.
