In India, police have taken 18 male lions into custody for the murder of three people in the Indian state of Gujarat.
The "suspects" will each have their paw prints taken and their feces tested as officials try to figure out which of the big cats in custody is guilty. "The officials are also studying the animals' behavior," wildlife expert Ruchi Dave told the BBC. "Man eating lions usually get aggressive at the sight of a human being."
