The latest in a string of incidents involving exotic animals kept by private residents in Minnesota has left a 10-year-old boy in critical condition after being mauled by a lion just outside this central Minnesota town.
Russell LaLa (search) of Royalton was attacked about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday when he and his father visited Chuck Mock (search) at Best Buy Auto. Mock is the registered owner of 11 large cats and a bear, said Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel.
Mock opened the door of a cage on the Best Buy Auto property and a tiger pushed its way out to attack the boy. Wetzel said that when the owner was pulling off the tiger, a lion moved in and bit Russell.
