BEIJING -- A Chinese zoo lost at least seven tigers due to starvation, sickness or fight wounds in the past four years, state media said yesterday, after two dead tiger cubs were found during the weekend in a refrigerator in the ticket office.

The discovery of the cubs at the private zoo, near Yichang at the foot of the Three Gorges Dam in Hubei Province, came after a rare Siberian tiger was found beheaded and skinned last week, prompting an investigation, Xinhua said.
