Zoo Boise Tiger Euthanized After Back Injury Complications
Katarina, the 14 year old female tiger at Zoo Boise, has been euthanized after continued complications from a back injury last year.
Katarina underwent spinal surgery last year to fix her back issues but problems persisted, forcing the zoo to make the decision to euthanize the big cat. Full details can be found on the Zoo's Facebook page.
