Another fox has died after being mauled by a jaguar that escaped its enclosure Saturday morning (July 14) at Audubon Zoo, officials said Sunday.

The fox's death brings the overall number of animals killed by the escaped jaguar to eight. Zoo officials announced Sunday morning that a fifth alpaca had also succumbed to its injuries. In total, five alpacas, two foxes and one emu were killed by Valerio the jaguar, who escaped his enclosure Saturday morning.

One other fox was injured in the attack and continues to be monitored by the zoo's veterinarians.

“Death Toll”? Really? The whole country has turned into sobbing fourteen year old girls.

jaguar is gonna jaguar.

Sounds like Valerio was more than just hungry. Prison will do that to people, too.

Nature does’t ‘ follow the Disney mantra and is cruel. Just saying,

You get injured, you’re someone else’s dinner. Thatt’st he way nature is.

Note to self. Postpone any visits to the Audubon Park Zoo for a while.

He’s killing for the fun of it.

Kill him.

[Seruzawa]

Wait. I thought only humans killed for fun.

[dfwgator]

...and they all asked for you....

[BBell]

He's innocent I tell ya! Just look at him. He couldn't have done it!

Let’s reestablish them in Central Park and Rock Creek Park.

here are plenty of predators out there who kill for sport, not for food. They just attack anything handy.

Those alpacas were in the cage next to him.

I’ll bet they were taunting him and he finally got his revenge. Killed the whole herd.

Gorgeous animal. He’s not guilty by reason of innate predatory instincts.

When asked about the incident Valerio was overheard commenting "Bitch set me up . . . . I shouldn't have come up here . . . goddamn bitch".

[OldNukeDaddy]

Well sure, the alpacas were asking for it, but what did Reynard do to deserve this?

[BBell]

Emus are pretty annoying too.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Sasha Siemel would have known what to do.

Yes, that's a spear.
