A new report states that male lion has killed a lioness in front of visitors. Officials at zoo in the US state of Texas are trying their level best to find out the reason behind the incident. The investigation report states that the male lion seized lioness from her neck and she died because of wounds and hemorrhaging.

The officials are surprised with the fact that the lions were living peacefully from past many years. Visitors around the zoo captured the video showing lion with its jaws clamped over the neck of Johari, lioness.

Jim Harvey, witness of the incident, shared his views regarding an incident. He said that in the starting everyone thought that the couple was playing, but suddenly it seemed that the lioness was struggling. Zoo officials said that there were other four lions in the zoo that appeared totally unaffected with this incident.

At the time of investigation, the male lion was removed out of the zoo and the entry of the public was banned.

Lynn Kramer, vice-president of animal operations and welfare at the zoo, said that Johari was amongst remarkable animals of the zoo. Lynn said that this incident took place rarely and had never seen in her 35 years of life.
