A sea lion died at a zoo in the north Bohemian city of Liberec at the weekend after part of a child’s toy evidently got stuck in its gullet. Two other sea lions also died by choking at the institution in the past.

A large male South American sea lion named Hugo was found dead in its pool at Liberec Zoom by a member of staff on Saturday morning.
