5/18/2006: Safari park bears attack and eat monkey (warning, graphic)

I've been checking these pictures out for a few months and this finally prompted me to post.

I live in Omaha, and our zoo recently built a new exhibit. In the exhibit were boars (or whatever Pumbaa on the Lion King was) and some white stork-like birds. As we were watching the animals, one of the boars started chasing a bird around the cage. A keeper was watching too, and said that happens all the time, but they coexist well together and are just playing. However...a few seconds later, the boar caught the bird and tore it to pieces. I have a few pictures of it on my camera. Needless to say, the next time we went there, the birds were all gone.
