63-Year-Old Man Killed By a Lion

63 -year-old Joe Ramonetha, was killed by a 10-year-old female white lion named Nyanga, after a gate was left open as he prepared the animals' food.
According to reports, the Zoo staff heard Ramonetha screaming and went to help. When they arrived, he was bitten once on the neck and was already dead when he arrived in hospital.
Louise Gordon, a spokeswoman for the zoo, said it had happened "so fast, like a car crash – you just don't expect it".
The lioness attacked Ramonetha in a passageway which the creatures cannot normally access, meaning, a gate was left open. The Lion was sedated with a tranquillizer dart and returned to where she belonged.
Zoo officials say, there will be a full investigation and they will decide then what to do with Nyanga. They feel that this was just an instinctive reaction on her part, perhaps because he tried to run away. She didn't take his body away like prey. She bit him once in the neck and that was it.
