The lioness, Zuri, was seen holding on to the lion, Nyack, by the neck, suffocating him to death, zoo officials said on Friday.

Poor boy...he was beautiful. 

Sometimes lionesses will turn on pride males when they get old, in order to bring in new blood for fathering cubs.  Maybe a similar instinct kicked in.  Females do the hunting, so they’re pretty formidable.

Or maybe it was Tuesday?

Or it was raining?

Or it wasn't raining?
