Zoo Tiger Cub Attacks Man

A man who wanted a picture taken with a tiger cub at Guangzhou Zoo got more than he bargained for.

 

Mr. Du and his family wanted to take a picture with a tiger cub, but ended up being bitten on the leg.

 

The cub bit Du on the left leg but the injury was not serious, the Southern Metropolitan Daily reported.

 

Du, his wife and two-year-old son paid to have a picture taken with a tiger cub on Sunday morning. When they entered the cage, a cub rushed at him, clamping its jaws on Du's upper left leg for almost a minute. Staff rushed in to pinch the cub's nose, but it refused to let go. It finally let go after staff hit it on the nose with a training club.

 

Ms Li, Du's wife said the perhaps the camouflage coat her husband wore had irritated the five-month-old cub.
