Zoo open gates in Tunisia after crocodile stoned to death


(MENAFN) With extra guards and new signs instructing visitors not to throw things at the animals, a Tunisian zoo that shut after a crocodile was stoned to death has officially reopened.

In detail, the Belvedere Zoo in central Tunis closed in March after a public outcry over the animal's stoning.

In more detail, images shared on social media showed the dead crocodile's head beside what appeared to be a bloodied paving slab and another large rock.

The reptile's death was the latest in a string of scandals at the 50-year-old zoo, which has long been in need of renovation.
