Shock: Man Killed By White Tigers

Nordin Bin Montong, 32, a Malaysian working as a cleaner at the zoo, leapt into the moat of the white tiger exhibit and was attacked, said Biswajit Guha, assistant director of zoology at the Singap More..ore Zoo in a statement.

The noise from the attack caught the attention of zookeepers nearby and they eventually managed to distract the tigers and rescue Nordin.

“Keepers managed to separate the worker from the tiger. While waiting for the ambulance, our vets attended to him,” said Guha. “The worker tragically succumbed to his wound.”

The attack happened about a week ago but this cell phone video of the shocking event just surfaced so far as I can tell. Mr. Montong was ‘agitating’ the tigers before the video begins.
