Salt Lake City, UT

A Mormon missionary mauled by two lions at a Guatemala zoo last week is now recovering at a Salt Lake area hospital, says his family.

Paul Oakey, 20, was at a preparation activity on July 11 when the attack occurred. His family says he was standing about two feet away from the lion cage when the lions attacked him from behind the bars.

His mother Judy Allen says one lion had his left arm and shoulder, while another had his right leg, trying to eat him for about two minutes.

“One of the elders from Mexico City, Elder Lopez, his companion, scaled the wall and took a big pipe and took…opened the jaws of the lion and freed my son,” said Judy Allen.
