    Deer breaks into Lion Exhibit at DC Zoo

    By KManning  |  Posted November 11, 2009  |  Washington, District of Columbia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     After reading about this incident and seeing the dramatic YouTube video, KManning went to the D.C. National Zoo on November 9 and spoke to officials there. She shot footage at the zoo and produced this video package.
    - katie, CNN iReport producer

    This is a video of the zoo's response to the wild deer jumping into the lion exhibit. Officials told me that the deer probably wandered in from Rock Creek Park. Although they often see smaller animals, like squirells, raccoons and pigeons, this is the first time that the zoo has seen a deer get into the lion's cage. They are doing construction to the wild cats exhibit, but this isn't related to the incident on Sunday.
