Few local reports also suggest the girl and her father are the owners of the lion and they were able to recapture it.

Apparently, this is not the first time a lion has been set loose in Kuwait City, in fact, a similar incident happened back in 2013. 

That time, instead of a young girl capturing the wild cat, the animal was lured into the back of the police car after it was spotted by a passer-by, according to Reuters.

The local media then took photos in the back seat of the police car.

Back in 2017, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) criminalized the keeping of wild animals, like lions or tigers, as pets.

In fact, Dubai law-keepers even announced that they are doing a crackdown on dangerous animal ownership in June 2020 after reports over a big cat being seen wandering around a city, though it was later confirmed it was a housecat.
