A lion at a North Carolina zoo escaped a locked enclosure and killed a 22-year-old who was working as an intern at the zoo. The Conservators Center in Burlington announced on Dec. 30 that the intern was killed when she was conducting a routine cleaning of the enclosure at about 11:30 a.m.
She was identified as Alexandra Black by the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office. Black is a native of New Palestine in Indiana and had graduated from Indiana State University earlier in 2018.
