A male African lion is believed to be roaming the area near Maniwaki, Que., Wednesday after escaping from its owner the night before.

Cpl. Gordon McGregor of the Kitigan Zibi reserve police force confirmed Wednesday that they are looking for the lion, which belongs to a local resident named Stanley Dumas-Whiteduck.

The reserve is near Maniwaki, a town about 145 kilometres north of Ottawa.

The Quebec provincial police have said they are also looking for the lion.
