Escaped Animals in Mexico
In August 2008, a lion weighing 500 pounds escaped from a private zoo in southern Mexico. In late September 2008, an elephant wandered onto a highway outside of Mexico City after running away from its trainer. The elephant died after it collided with a bus, killing the driver. In late October 2008, three tigers escaped from a circus truck but were quickly recaptured.Sky News: Tiger Mauls Zoo Caretaker In Mexico City (November 11, 2008) -
