Baby Deer Escapes Lions at the National Zoo

•November 9, 2009 • 3 Comments

In a bizarre incident a wild baby deer jumped into a lion exhibit at the National Zoo. Two female lions went after the deer and severely injured it, but the deer got away from its predators and made a mad dash for the moat.

Zoo keepers were able to get the lions back inside the lion house while Zoo police cleared visitors from the area. Its injuries were too serious though and several hours later, after being examined by Zoo experts, the deer was put to sleep.

The National Zoo is part of Rock Creek Park, home to some deer and a lot of other wild animails. Right now, the zoo has no fence at the area near the park, but is planning to put one up.

Woman, daughter hold signs admitting theft

Woman, daughter hold signs admitting theft

Fifty-six-year-old Evelyn Border and 35-year-old Tina Griekspoor stood outside the court for 4 1/2 hours Tuesday. They held signs that read: “I stole from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday! Don’t steal or this could happen to you!”
