美国一头公狮离奇咬死母狮

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Officials at a zoo in the US state of Texas are investigating why a male lion attacked and killed a lioness in full view of visitors.[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]美国德克萨斯州一座公园里,一头公狮子在游客们的注视之下袭击并杀死了一头母狮子,公园负责人正在调查原因。[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The male seized five-year-old Johari by the neck on Sunday at the Dallas Zoo - an [b]autopsy(验尸)[/b] found she died from neck wounds and [b]haemorrhaging(出血)[/b].[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94794.html]Zoo[/url] officials said the lions had lived together peacefully for years.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]They said they had no idea why the male had turned on Johari, but that they have no plans to[b] euthanize(使安乐死)[/b] him.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Video taken by a zoo visitor showed the apparently calm male lion with its jaws clamped around the female's neck.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Everyone thought they were playing at first but then they could see that she was struggling," witness Jim Harvey told local news station WFAA.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]'Very rare occurrence'[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Security personnel closed the exhibit to the public and the male was removed.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The remaining four [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94794.html]lions[/url] appeared unaffected by the incident, said officials.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Johari was a remarkable animal, as are all of our lions" said Lynn Kramer, vice-president of animal operations and welfare at the zoo, in a statement.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"This is a very rare and unfortunate occurrence. In my 35 years as a [b]veterinarian(兽医)[/b] in zoos, I've never seen this happen."[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The statement said Johari, known as Jo-Jo, was a staff favourite who was "sweet and loving with her sisters, and often could be found grooming them".[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Kramer told WFAA that male lions do sometimes kill other males in the wild, and sometimes cubs, but that attacking a female was extremely rare.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The chances of such an attack happening again were "very remote", said Mr Kramer. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However, the zoo has said it will keep its two males lion apart from the surviving two [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94794.html]female[/url] while they try to establish what happened, and would "absolutely not" euthanize the killer.[/size][/font]
