Zoo Staff Shocked After Lion Rips Out Neck of Lioness He Was Meant To Mate With
A zoo ‘went from pride to sadness in one day’ when a lion ripped out the throat of the lioness he was intended to breed with, in front of horrified staff.
Nestor and Maya were supposed to mate when they were first introduced to each other as part of a Belgian theme park’s breeding program yesterday.
They had first been separated by barriers to get used to each other’s scents at the zoo in Bellewaerde, Ypres.
Both animals had been moved from Antwerp Zoo to the site in West Flanders as part of a breeding program for endangered species.
