DENVER — A Bolivian-born jaguar that killed a Denver zookeeper was well-behaved as a young cat but his twin was so mean that his handlers named him Osama, a Bolivian zoo official said Monday.
Ashlee Pfaff, 27, died from a broken neck and other injuries after the big cat named Jorge attacked her while she was inside an employee hallway that opened into his outdoor enclosure on Saturday, the coroner said. A zoo employee shot and killed Jorge when he approached emergency workers trying to save Pfaff.

I wonder if Jorge was named after W.
In the story.
A bit too anthropomorphic to me. Jaguars aren't "well-behaved" or "mean", they're jaguars.
Our first Mexican president.
Yes. The story says Jorge was named after W. "Jorge" is Spanish for "George."
So what happened to Osama? Does the zoo still have him?
Well, hold on here. Isn't naming a "mean" jaguar after Osama Islamophobic. Shouldn't there be a campaign to get Bolivia to rename the jaguar.
I had a Jaguar once. Biggest mechanical POS ever built.
You guessed it ...
Jorge's fault!
Investigators, who were not not sure why the door was open or what Pfaff was doing, have concluded it's as simple as 'keeping your a$$ out of the big animal cages.'
the autopsy revealed the animal was.....(wait for it)...a jaguar
