Hungry tigers eat another tiger at Chinese zoo

Tigers at a zoo in northern China have become so hungry that they have started eating each other.

Recent cold weather has meant fewer visitors to the Bingchuan Wildlife Park in the city of Shenyang.



Meagre government subsidies of just 1,000 yuan (£65) per month have not been enough and keepers and doesn't have enough money to feed the animals.

At the weekend there was a fight between a group of tigers, with one male ending up being killed and eaten by four others.
