Lions savage zoo’s vulture

A CROWD at a zoo saw two lions maul a vulture released for a flying display.

The bird called Yatsey snagged in the roof netting of their enclosure and the lioness dragged it in.

Vets believed the wounded 22-year-old bird could be treated but it went into shock and died.

Onlookers at Colchester Zoo, Essex, described it as “sad and traumatic”.

Six years ago a barn owl was killed during a display after flying into the same lions’ enclosure.
