Title: Mideast Palestinians Gaza Zoo
Caption: In this photo taken Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Palestinian schoolchildren watch zoo owner Mohammed Awaida pet a mummified lion at the Khan Younis zoo, southern Gaza Strip. There is an afterlife for animals at Gaza's Khan Younis zoo. Animals who die in the dilapidated park come to life again as stuffed creatures. But because the taxidermy in the impoverished Palestinian territory relies on techniques available on the Internet, the unusual wildlife experience of petting a lion, tiger or crocodile can be a grim one.(AP Photo/Adel Hana)
