When I first read that headline, I was thinking of a much different Tiger.

I guess I just assumed after all the headlines he has made lately.

I think this (zoo) tiger was just being a tiger... he probably wasn't looking to eat the guy, but they are territorial, and captive tigers have a history of reacting negatively to abrupt changes or unusual events in their environments. It may know not to mess with its handlers, but a stranger would cause a problem. This is the main reason why tigers are kept in cages at zoos, rather than being allowed to mingle with the visitors. ;)

My question is: why did this guy go into a tiger's cage at the zoo?   ::)

"Report: Tiger bites keeper to death in Chinese zoo"

I think it would have been more newsworthy if it had read:.....

"Report: Tiger sucks keeper to death in Chinese zoo"
(A very old Tiger).

Headlines make all the difference... ;).. ;)...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D...!
