Tiger who 'attacked' a man at Yorkshire park will not be euthanised
Police said Altai survived the attack and the park will not euthanise the endangered tiger as investigations continue.
- On Saturday, October 10, a man died after entering the Land of the Tigers enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster and being attacked by an Amur tiger. Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene.
- Witnesses reported the man appeared agitated, dancing while wearing AirPods, and asked strangers to photograph him with the tiger before scaling the fence into the two-acre reserve.
- Keepers reportedly fired shots to distract the tiger, with insiders describing gas-powered acoustic guns that created noise, allowing the animal to retreat so medics could approach the scene.
- Yorkshire Wildlife Park confirmed the Amur tiger, named Altai, is 'safe and well' and will not be euthanised. The park remains closed while staff receive specialist support.
- South Yorkshire Police urged the public not to share distressing footage online as the investigation continues. Amur tigers like Altai remain endangered, with around 500 left in the wild.
