Remember that tiger attack from a few days ago? Apparently, evidence is starting to suggest one of the victims dangled his leg over the fence while taunting the tiger, and the tiger jumped up, grabbed his leg and pulled herself over the fence to commence mauling him and his friends.
The attacks on the three visitors from San Jose, California, took place as the zoo closed on Christmas Day. Police found Sousa dead at the scene. They shot and killed the tiger after it chased down the brothers, who are now recovering from wounds at a San Francisco hospital.
Actress Tippi Hedren, who operates the Shambala Preserve for exotic big cats in Acton, California, doubts the tiger scaled its exhibit wall and has never had tigers at her preserve escape over the 14 to 15 foot walls.
"I think there is something else going on," she said in a telephone interview, noting that tigers are ferocious when provoked.
Investigators found a shoeprint on the railing in front of the exhibit and are trying to determine if it matches the attack victims' shoes amid speculation that the men might have taunted the tiger.
They are treating the zoo as a crime scene and have not ruled the possibility that the tiger latched on to a limb slung over her exhibit wall to pull itself out.
San Francisco Police Chief Heather Fong told reporters on Friday that investigators found no evidence to suggest the tiger had been intentionally released. (Editing by Mary Milliken and Bill Trott)That's the speculation, anyway. But regardless that's fucking HARDCORE.
Just some current events for you.
