Exploding Aardvark

Jorge — Spanish for George — had been named after President Bush, said Margot Ugarteche, a veterinarian at the Santa Cruz Municipal Zoo of South American Fauna in Bolivia, which sent Jorge to the Denver Zoo.

“Osama was always the more dominant of the two,” Ugarteche said. “He was always rough with Jorge. That was the relationship we saw between them.

“Jorge wasn’t bad, really,” she said. “I don’t know what could have happened. Perhaps because he was so well-behaved, the trainer (in Denver) thought she could trust him. But you never know with wild animals.”
