Three lions which had escaped from a world famous game reserve in South Africa have been killed.
She said the team on the ground found the lions after it received information that a farmer‚ about three farms away from them‚ had killed a lion so they moved in there.
SANParks officials then made a decision to put down both the wounded lion and the other unharmed lion.
It was not known how the lions escaped from the park, most of which is fenced.
Officials say they were probably driven out by population pressures.

Over the past year, oil production in the USA has increased by more than 10% to 9.4 million bpd. They are, however, now forced to cut their forecast as the market struggles to find a balance.
The industrial action could hamper the search for lions that went missing from the Kruger National Park earlier this week‚ Hospersa said.
The farmer shot one dead and wounded another on Wednesday, which had escaped from the National Park over the weekend.
SANParks spokesperson William Mabasa says one lion was shot and killed by a farmer in Mara Valley.
"The terrain was hard and we could not drug them so we were forced to shoot the remaining two lions", he said.
Five lions escaped in May and then captured days after near the border with Swaziland. "It attests to the adaptive responses and interaction of the ‡Khomani San, past, and present, to survive in a desert environment", said Mketeni.
