Tiger killed zoo visitor in England. Before this, the man showed it a strange gesture
Medics did not manage to save the man.
The incident occurred on October 10 at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster (England). A man climbed into the enclosure of an Amur tiger named Altai, and it attacked him. The man was around 20 years old. Two ambulances and a medical helicopter arrived at the scene, but they failed to save the visitor; he died on the spot, writes Daily Mail.
Witnesses say the man was alone. Immediately before the incident, he asked an unknown woman to photograph him several times with the tiger in the background, and then he jumped over the fence. Staff quickly arrived and fired five loud shots to scare off the animal, but it was all over in a few minutes.
In the video, the man reportedly shows the tiger a fist with an outstretched pinky finger. X users speculate that this is the 'bad' gesture from the Makaton system, which is used by people with communication difficulties. One witness also suggested that the man might have simply wanted to play with the tiger.
Altai was not harmed: the shots were fired into the air, not at him. The park stated that the tiger would not be euthanized.
