Tiger on the loose in Acapulco, Mexico


A Royal Bengal tiger has escaped from the Mangrove Paradise zoo and restaurant area on 26 October. It is Ankor, a male tiger and the hunt is on for the tiger which has been on the run in Mexico for a month after escaping from the restaurant zoo located in the country's southern Pacific coast.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 27 November 2015.
Ever since the escape, Mexican authorities have mounted a full-scale search effort using police, soldiers and a group of 10 big cat experts. It seems the animal has been located and Mexico's environmental protection agency has used remote trip-wire cameras to film the predator.
The location is in an area of low woods dotted with marshes, reeds and stands of button mangrove west of the resort of Acapulco and the authorities are hopeful of capturing it alive soon and relocating it to a safe place.
Incidentally, soon after the escape, the owner of a ranch about a mile away from the restaurant had reported that he had found five of his cows dead and, the tiger is believed to be behind their deaths.

Mexico, the land of dead bodies – 61 of them found in Acapulco crematorium


#abandoned #crematorium #mexico #acapulco #guerrero Mexico is gradually earning for itself the nickname of the ‘City of the Dead bodies’. It has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 6 February 2015 that a total of 61 bodies have been discovered in an abandoned crematorium in Acapulco, in the Mexican state of Guerrero.
It was in the same location from where students had gone missing last year.
The dead bodies came to light after people from the neighboring areas called the authorities who discovered the human remains. Forensic experts are investigating as confirmed by Spanish news agency Efe. All the bodies have been shifted and taken to the local forensic institute.
From preliminary reports it has emerged that one of the bodies belonged to that of a minor and that none of them had been mutilated. All the bodies were covered in lime to prevent stench and none of them had been burned.
It seems the foul smell of decomposing bodies resulted in the shocking discovery. The crematorium, the Cremaciones El Pacifico, had been abandoned about a year ago.
Incidentally, Acapulco is located 200-Km from Iguala, where 43 students from a teachers college had gone missing after they were rounded up by corrupt local police who then handed them over to a crime cartel. The students were subsequently murdered and their bodies were burned at a landfill site in neighboring Cocula.
