ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Wolverine]

Since you guys are interested in accidents with captive tigers, I know remember an accident occured 4 years ago in the zoo of Sofia (Bulgaria),  @Polar. I have seen many times this male 200 kg Amur tiger called "Mardock" and last year was surprised by woman cleaner in the zoo who told me that the Mardock succeeded to escape from his cage and occured in the internal haul for predators. When a veterinary doctor arrived and tried to cool him by sleeping bullets the tiger attacked him and mauled so badly that the man than spent more than a month in the hospital, luckilly survived. I dont know the nature of his injuries but they should be quite serious in order somebody to spend a month in a hospital...
Firstly tiger was not very aggresive and walked among 20 visitors only slightly roaring to them, than he unintentionaly blocked the door exit of mother with 2 kids and probably became really agressive only when the zoo authorities tried to cool him.
