| Killed two keepers at Belgrade Zoo in the early 1980s. s Some records state Luka was kept at Longleat before staying at Woburn, but this seems to be an error, citing his previous owner: When we brought him from Palik Zoo in Yugoslavia I thought he went straight to Woburn where he remained until John Aspinal bought him for Port Lympe.
