Cyber, a 5 year old
Siberian tiger may be killed at the
Great Plains Zoo in
Sioux Falls, SD because of an idiot. The man climbed past two sets of barriers, then
stuck his hand into the 12 foot fence at the tiger enclosure. What happened next? The one of the tigers bit him. Who could have guessed? I suppose he will be suing the zoo for failing to post signs saying
tigers are dangerous. The man's injuries? His finger was bleeding and needed a few stitches. He turned down an offer to call
EMS for him.
There are only an estimated 800
Siberian tigers left in the world (
up from ~30 in the 1940s), and this one may be killed so it can be tested for rabies. Cyber, who is the father of two cubs born last May, is at the Sioux Falls zoo on loan as part of a breeding program to try to save the species.
