in Front of a few stunned the visitors, dead lion Leia, writes Fædrelandsvennen as talked about the matter first.
the Lion will most likely be jammed in a striesekk with the food that was attached to a wire. These are, in addition to feed the lions, designed to activate the animals.
We were approached by some guests who had seen this. When we came to the lion, it was obvious that she had been stuck in the wire we use to feed and activate the, says Rolf-Arne Ølberg, a veterinarian in the Zoo.
Much to suggest that the lion should have had circulatory problems after having hanged himself stuck. The staff was quickly on the spot, but life was not to save.
– First we had to get the other lions into the house, but when we came up to her and got to cut the cord, she was dead, tells the Ølberg.
First and foremost, is this a kjempetrist event, ” says Rolf-Arne Ølberg, vet at the Kristiansand Zoo.

the Zoo has in the 13 years used layout where the lioness died Friday. Never has the Zoo experienced such a fatality occurring among the lions.
– We have never had problems with this before. For our part, this surprising and, first and foremost, a kjempetrist event, ” says Ølberg.
How the accident should have happened, is currently uncertain. The lioness has been obdusert in retrospect, but nothing indicates she had any underlying diseases.
– We have not seen the entire course. It is common that they klorer, bits and wasting with kjøttstykket in a long time, but it is a mystery that she got stuck in this. It may be she has managed to attach the tooth inside the one striesekken that contain pieces of meat.
– One can surely be etterpåklok and find out if it should be done differently, but we always try to have a critical look at about the neon thing can be dangerous for the animals. For us this is an accident.
Only four of the lions in the Zoo remains after the fatal accident on Friday. Hannløven Aslan is the flock leader and the father of the deceased lioness the Rent.

the Lioness Leia was one of five lions at the Zoo. After the fatal accident consists of the flock now of three males and a lioness.
– It is without a doubt a kjempetrist event for us who work in the Zoo, but especially for dyrepasserne who work with these animals every day, ” says Per Arnstein Aamot, managing director of the Zoo.
According to veterinary Ølberg was the thirteen-year-old lioness a popular lion.
She was a nice lion to have in the herd. Very quiet and kind, so this was incredibly kjipt, says Ølberg.
Aamot is unsure how many that got the event.
” We had, unfortunately, not hold of those who were witness to this, for we got a little busy when the accident occurred, but we would have followed them up, says Aamot.
