The Charleston Males

[AbcXyz]

This is a kind of "official" report about Mazino's death:

"The lion pertaining to the inquiry was reported by an OSV on the 24th May that it was dragging its hind legs and initial suspicion was that it had broken its back. A consultation of all experts took place and a decision was taken to put the animal down as it was not in a good condition at all.

The post-mortem results from the lion indicated that there was no bite mark and that ruled out a fight with another male. There was also no trauma detected on the spinal cord. The only conclusion was that a subluxation of a thoracic vertebrae or a disc prolapse could have led to acute lameness in the hind quarters, hence it was dragging them along."
