A man in Pakistan was found dead after zoo staff saw that a big cat had a shoe in its mouth.<\/p>\n
The incident happened Wednesday at Bahawalpur\u2019s Sherbagh Zoo, which is located in the Punjab province, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n
Zaheer Anwar, a government official, told media outlets that zoo staff were cleaning when they made the gruesome discovery.<\/p>\n
\u2018When they cleaned the zoo and the dens, they found the (animal) holding a shoe in its mouth,\u2019 Anwar said.<\/p>\n
When staff at the zoo went to check the big cat\u2019s den, a body was found.<\/p>\n
\u2018The staff got suspicious and then they found a body inside the den,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
The government official said they believe the individual possibly jumped into the big cat\u2019s den.<\/p>\n
\u2018Our assessment so far is that this appears to be a lunatic, because a sensible person would not jump into the den,\u2019 Anwar said. \u2018You can see that the den is secured. There are stairs behind the den, maybe he jumped from there.\u2019<\/p>\n
One rescue worker who goes by Zafarullah, told media outlets that the victim\u2019s legs looked like they were heavily mauled.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is yet not known who he is and how he got there. It is being investigated. The body looked several hours old,\u2019 Zafarullah said.<\/p>\n
The government official described the big cat with a word that can mean a tiger or leopard in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n
