A man has died after a tiger attacked him at a wildlife park in Yorkshire, England.
Witnesses at the scene shared what they saw. They said the man took a picture with the tiger from outside the cage first. Then, he climbed inside the enclosure.
People nearby tried to help him. One woman reportedly tried to pull the man back before he went inside, but he did not stop. Another person heard the man tell the tiger to 'stop being naughty' just before the attack happened.
Following the tragic event, the zoo made an announcement about the tiger. They said they will not put the animal to sleep. They feel the tiger was just acting like a wild animal.
This incident has shocked many people. Officials are still looking into exactly how the man was able to get inside the pen. For now, the park is working with police to understand the full story of what happened that day.
