An employee of her “biblical zoo” Jerusalem found a tragic death after an attack accepted by one tiger that had come out of her cage.
According to Timesofisrael.com, the victim, 26 -year -old Uriel Nuri, was rushed to Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem in Jerusalem in critical condition, with serious neck and upper body injuries as a result of the tiger attack.
In a statement, the zoo said that the tiger managed to get out of her cage and reach the space surrounding it.
The statement added that the incident occurred during preparations for a tour of visitors to the zoo.
“A tiger managed to get out of her passage and attack one of the zoo officials. Under no circumstances was there a natural risk for visitors, who were protected behind a glass window, “the zoo said.
“With the help of Israeli police, we are now conducting a thorough investigation to understand how the leopard managed to get into the courtyard. Our thoughts are with Nuri and his family. “
