In yet another questionable tragedy at the Dallas Zoo, a female lion was killed by two male lions on Sunday, in full view of spectators. One of the two male lions, named Denari and Kamaia, bit the female, named Johari, around her neck until she stopped moving.

Just before the attack, Denari and Kamaia were trotted through their daily "demonstration" for visitors on Sunday at 10 am. After the attack, the male lions were placed in their "individual rooms" and fed. Zoo officials said they would not be put down, which would imply that they considered this behavior to be natural or acceptable.

Johari isn't the only recent dark stain for the zoo. In late September, they announced their decision to boot Patrick, longtime resident gorilla, for being "anti-social," i.e. not breeding with the females. Sorry Patrick, but the zoo needed to make space for males that would breed. He's being replaced by two sad gorillas from the Calgary Zoo, including one "break-dancing" gorilla named Zola.

Patrick was born at the Bronx Zoo in 1990 and rejected by his mother. He was transferred to the Toronto Zoo, then the Dallas Zoo when he was 5. The only bond he made was with Jabari, the gorilla who was shot to death by Dallas police after he escaped from the zoo in 2004.
