a siberian tigres that was 4 years old named Tatiana escaped from her pen just an hour before closing time at the San Fransisco Zoo, and killed a 20 year old man and maulled two other men (around the age of 20) that were sitting at a table in the outside CAFE. when the police got there they saw the tiger attacking the almost dead man (he was saved). when the tiger looked at the police, it continued its attack. when the police moved even closer it started going towards them to attack! thats when they fired! “The purpose of the criminal investigation is to see if the tiger was able to get out on its own or whether there was human involvement,” San Francisco Police Chief Heather Fong said. Siberian tigers are an endangered species, with fewer than 400 surviving in the remote forests of Russia’s Sikhote-Alin mountain range, east of the Amur River. Another 600 are kept in captivity.
Four-year-old Tatiana was moved to San Francisco Zoo from Denver in the hope that she would mate with a male called Tony.
The tigress lived with Tony and three Sumatran tigers in outdoor enclosures, kept away from the public by a 4½meter (15ft) wide moat.
