		</div><p>Residents of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi are being warned to stay inside after heavy flooding destroyed enclosures at the city’s zoo, allowing tigers, lions and other animals to escape.</p>
<p>The zoo said an escaped hippopotamus had been cornered in one of the city’s main squares and subdued with a tranquilliser gun.</p>
<p>Some other animals have also been seized, and it remains unclear how many are on the loose.</p>
<p>Bears and wolves are also among the animals who fled from their enclosures amid the flooding from heavy rains and high winds.</p>
<p>Helicopters are circling the city and residents have been told to stay indoors except in an emergency.</p>
<p>Three zoo workers died in the flooding.</p>
<p>The zoo said one of those killed was Guliko Chitadze, a zookeeper who lost an arm in an attack by a tiger last month.</p>
<p>The severe weather turned a normally small stream that runs through the hilly city into a surging river. The flooding also damaged dozens of houses.</p>
<p>City mayor David Narmania told journalists that eight people are known to have died and 10 others are missing.</p>
<p>It is not clear if the eight people were killed by the flooding or animal attacks.</p>
