Woman riding a donkey fights off lion with machete: "ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) -- A Mexican woman said she fought a 500-pound lion with a machete near the resort city of Acapulco and scared him away. Celsa Aleman said she and her 7-year-old niece were riding a donkey Monday along a road when the lion went after the animal's legs.
The 35-year-old woman says she found the courage to fight the lion because she thought it would attack her niece. She hit the animal with a machete until the beast ran away. Aleman and her niece were unharmed.
The state government said in a statement that the lion had escaped from a private zoo owned by a former local congressman.
It said the animal killed two dogs and ate a pig before it was sedated and taken back to the zoo."
