Tiger escapes zoo enclosure in Turkey, kills lion
A Bengal tiger escaped his enclosure at a zoo in Turkey's capital city of Ankara, killing a lion in the adjacent area. The lion was killed in a single swipe to the jugular vein. The tiger had previously wounded the lion last year. Ankara Zoo officials say that the tiger reached the lion through a hole in the fence between the animals and did not knock down the fence. The zoo has a remaining six tigers and two lions and is safe for visitors.[Photo courtesy of Flickr user chrisada]
