Haifa residents are concerned, and rightly so, about the large number of wild boars on the city's streets - but residents of the city of Khubar in eastern Saudi Arabia found themselves in a much more worrying situation this week: no less Maria began to patrol and terrorize the city.
They reported this to the National Wildlife Refuge of Saudi Arabia (NCW) - and its men were called to the scene.
They located the lion in the heart of the city in eastern Saudi Arabia, and is famous for the "King Fahd" bridge, which connects Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
The NCW team put the lion to sleep and took him to a wildlife shelter.
Saudi Arabia: Aria terrorizes in the heart of the city of Khubar
In Saudi Arabia, although it is forbidden by law to keep predators as pets, the Saudi Gazette reported that the average cheetah price in the Saudi illegal market is $ 6,000.
The Saudi custom of raising predators as pets led to a disaster on April 15, when a lion kept in a private home killed its owner.
