Lions Devour Slain Giraffe in Copenhagen Zoo

Zoo-keepers in Copenhagen made the controversial decision this week of shooting dead a two-year old giraffe. The zoo decided to put down the animal, named Marius, because his genes were well represented among the captive giraffe population in Europe. Shortly after his death the animal was fed to the lions in the Danish zoo, as this video shows. Credit: Søren Klintrup
