A man was attacked and killed by a large Siberian tiger after breaking into its enclosure at a wildlife park in northern England today. According to eyewitnesses, the man asked someone to take a photo with the tiger before the incident and danced happily.

The New York Post reported that the incident occurred at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster. After the park received a report that a man broke into the tiger exhibit and was attacked by a large tiger, police and ambulance personnel received a report and rushed to the scene at around 1:35 p.m.

Judging from the exposed footage, the man was sitting on the grass in the fence when he was grabbed and bitten from behind by the tiger named Altai. The man pointed his finger at the tiger and tried to resist its attack.

According to a statement from the South Yorkshire police in the UK, the tiger still attacked the man, causing him serious injuries. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead on the spot after emergency medical treatment. The tiger was not injured and remained in the original park.

Marie Miller, a tourist who was at the scene at the time of the incident, posted on Facebook that she first saw Altai sitting calmly in the sun, while the man was wearing headphones and dancing on the bridge while being happy to see the tiger.

Miller said the man appeared to be alone and asked a stranger to help him take a photo with the tiger behind him. Miller believes the man may have wanted to play with the tiger.

After the incident, a black barrier was placed around the zoo's tiger area and the zoo was closed throughout the weekend.
