A ZOOKEEPER has been killed after two critically endangered Sumatran tigers escaped from Sinka Zoo in Borneo Island.
The 47-year-old zookeeper was found dead close to the tigers’ enclosure on Friday. He sustained bite wounds and scratches on his body.
The female tigers, both aged about 18 months, escaped the zoo after a landslide caused by days of torrential rain damaged their enclosure.
One of the animals was captured on Saturday after hit with a tranquillizer dart but the other was shot dead after it behaved aggressively and attempts to tranquilize failed.(BBC)
