Murder in LA Zoo.

The Los Angeles Zoo has a murder mystery on its hands. One of its koalas, named Killarney, has disappeared. They also have a suspect who is still at large and could strike again. A mountain lion named P22 was caught on video inside the zoo the night the koala disappeared. There could be other suspects such as coyotes. The lion's name is P22. If he turns out to be guilty, he is only doing what comes naturally.
A mountain lion miraculously surviving in the Los Angeles mountains apparently breached a 9-foot fence at the Los Angeles Zoo and mauled a koala at night.

That's pretty amazing that a mountain lion managed to get inside the zoo. Poor koala. I wonder how many other animals will be affected.

I don't know, was wondering myself. But why the koala? Aren't there animals there that are more suitable? Like deer, antelope and rabbits?

@akalinus He wouldn't have to chase a koala - it would be a sitting duck, well, a sitting koala anyway.

Yes, I know. It is the nature of the beast to kill its food. I am just having fun with the idea.

The story with this is a little misleading. The koala disappeared and is presumed to have become dinner for the lion.

@akalinus Update. The remains of the koala were found partly eaten somewhere outside the zoo.

I guess P22 and the coyote are so confident for not being sentenced in a criminal case. Both of them are nothing to lose, since they are locked-in without parole behind the zoo's cage. I feel bad with the innocent koala.

@akalinus Oh, well. I though they were are all settlers in the zoo. I guess it is my mistakes. Most of the wild animals that I had seen are situated in local zoo. It is nice that these wild animals in your country live in the mountains freely.

You are right, there will be no criminal case. The mountain lion and coyotes do not live in the zoo.. They live in nearby mountains.

@akalinus Well,this is rather disturbing.The poor Koala.The walls and fences around the zoo will have to be fortified.

@silvermist Mountain lions and pumas have also attacked people out jogging in the hills around their homes.

I think the lion will be back now that he knows he can find dinner at the zoo.

Is it a mountain lion roaming wild in Griffith Park or an inmate? A coyote is more likely.

It is roaming wild. They got the lion on video tape the night the koala disappeared.

@akalinus Wow, a wild mountain lion. I know they will knock themselves out to catch it but I hope they don't kill it.
