Bucharest, Romania - Police in Romania say they had to investigate complaints from neighbours about constant roaring from a lion in a man's backyard.

The police found a caged three-year-old lioness in the yard at the home in the southern village of Pietrosita. They also found two deer, a stag and two peacocks roaming the garden of the man's home.

The 28-year-old man is being charged with illegal possession of wild animals and could be sentenced to up to a year in jail.

The lioness will be taken to the Bucharest zoo.
