ALMATY, Sept 3 (Reuters) - A lion escaped from its cage at a Kazakh zoo over the weekend, the second such incident in a month, news media reported on Monday.

The six-year-old lion called Adam sneaked out of his cage through a door that had been accidentally left open, Kazakhstan Today news agency reported.

The lion roamed around freely for half an hour before zoo workers lured it back to safety.

Just a month ago, three bears broke out of their enclosure in the same zoo in southern Kazakhstan.
