A man died Sunday when he was ripped apart after climbing inside a lion enclosure in a suspected attempt to steal a rare white cub, authorities said.
Guards at the zoo noticed that a man had climbed a 20-foot-tall fence and entered an enclosure home to a lion, a lioness, and two cubs, the report noted."The intruder was attacked and injured by one of the lions," Ghana’s state Forestry Commission said in a statement."The police are working with the management of the zoo and the forestry commission to get to the bottom of this unfortunate incident," the Accra Police Service said.
A motive for the breach has not been determined, but officials suspect the man might have been attempting to steal one of the rare white cubs."The lions have cubs so if you come too close they may feel you are trying to take away their babies," Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Benito Owusu Bio said.
