Lion loses tail at Oregon Zoo

OREGON (WTVD) -- The king of the pride at the Oregon Zoo has lost part of his tail.



A zookeeper at the zoo accidentally closed a cage door trapping a lion's tail during a zoo training session.



The session was stopped when visitors noticed the lion's tail was bleeding.



The male lion is expected to make a full recovery from what the zoo describes as a minor injury.
