Japan zoo makes wild fashion statement with lion-ripped jeans




"We wrapped several pieces of denim around tyres and other toys. Once they were thrown into the enclosures, the animals jumped on them," said zoo director Nobutaka Namae, adding that the pieces were later patched together to create the finished product.




As of Monday, bidding on the tiger-torn denim had soared to 121,000 yen ($1,200).

They will be on exhibit at the Kamine Zoo -- along with a bear-savaged version -- until next week.
