German police have extended their search for a wild animal believed to be a lioness, which was spotted chasing a wild boar down a street outside Berlin.

The sighting, captured in a grainy video, remains the only evidence of the elusive creature.

Despite a massive operation involving over 100 police officers, helicopters, thermal-imaging cameras, and professional animal trackers, the lioness has not been located.

Authorities have advised residents to exercise caution and avoid adjacent forests, and they are urging anyone who encounters the animal to seek safety immediately and contact the police.

Speculation arises whether the lioness was kept illegally, as no owner has come forward.

Wildlife experts remain skeptical about the presence of the lioness due to the lack of recent sightings or traces.
