Just one month after a gorilla was shot and killed inside a U.S. zoo, a jaguar has been shot and killed at a zoo in Brazil.
The 17-year-old jaguar named Zuma escaped an enclosure at the zoo, which is part of a military base in the Brazillian Amazon, according to The New York Times. The jaguar had been tranquilized but was shot when she moved toward a soldier, the NYT reported.
Zuma had appeared earlier in the day at an Olympic Games event in Rio de Janeiro and was photographed alongside soldiers and an Olympic torch runner.
