One of the jaguars with the dead doe.

Percy Roscoe, age 56, was driving Montgomery Street last Friday at approximately 2:30 PM in West Roxbury, Boston when he saw a very strange and gruesome thing: two jaguars up in a tree, devouring a dead deer.

The jaguars had escaped from the Franklin Park Zoo about two days earlier. 

"I just glanced up at the tree and saw them eating a deer. I stopped my car and took a photo."

Mr. Roscoe called Animal Control, who came in about 5 minutes with zookeepers. The zookeepers shot the jaguars with a tranquilizer gun and put them in their zoo truck. They also took the dead deer and brought it to the jaguars to finish eating at the zoo.
