I don’t even know what to say about this tiger love-triangle murder:
A Malayan tiger from the San Diego Zoo on loan to the El Paso Zoo has killed her intended mate in what is being described possibly as a love-triangle involving three tigers.
Three-year-old Seri killed the 6-year-old male Wzui.
Seri may have been jealous of Wzui’s attention toward the 15-year-old female Melor, according to media accounts.
In June, a zoo news release noted friction between the three tigers: “The male tiger Wzui likes both females, but the two females don’t like each other.”
Seri reportedly grabbed Wzui’s neck in her jaws on Thursday and bit down. By the time keepers were on scene, Wzui was dead.
