Lion Tries to Eat Zebra-Striped Toddler

Boy unfazed by hungry predator at Oregon Zoo

(NEWSER) - In his black-and-white striped hoodie, one-year-old Jack Baltzor must have looked a lot like a tasty little zebra to a hungry lioness. In video taken by his parents, the 250-pound predator at the Oregon Zoo swipes furiously at the glass separating her from the toddler, even trying to take him in her jaws. Even after he noticed the lion, Jack seemed completely unfazed. More»

Newt Gingrich Bit by Penguin

It only sounds made up...

(AP) - At least one penguin at the St. Louis Zoo appears to be a feisty opponent of Newt Gingrich. The GOP candidate is sporting a bandage on his finger after getting nipped by a small penguin during his tour of the zoo on Friday. Gingrich was in St. Louis to speak during the NRA's annual meeting, and was treated to a behind-the-scenes visit with two Magellanic penguins while at the zoo. One of them nipped Gingrich on the finger. A zoo rep says a small bandage was all the medical care required. More»

Nightmare Zoo's Giraffe Dies, Stomach Full of Plastic

Overcrowding, infighting plague Indonesian facility

(NEWSER) - The death of a giraffe that had 40 pounds of plastic in its stomach—it ate trash routinely tossed into its pen—is just the latest crisis at Indonesia's biggest zoo. Two years back, a report said 25 of Surabaya Zoo's animals were dying monthly; that figure has been brought down to about 15. But the AP paints a shocking picture of continuing conditions there: Pelicans crowded so densely that they can't spread their wings without bumping into each other; a tiger that's covered in skin lesions; an apparently poisoned warthog.
