COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — A man was attacked by a tiger at a Florida Everglades attraction after walking into the animal's enclosure, authorities said.
The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in Collier County, the same county where a man was attacked by a tiger at a zoo three months ago.
"Preliminary info indicates a tiger in an enclosure at that location was being fed by it's [sic] caretaker when a 50 year old male, an employee of Wooten's who was not authorized to be with the tiger, entered the tiger's enclosure," the sheriff's office said."The tiger attacked the man and caused injuries to both arms."
This is not the first time in recent months that Collier County sheriff's deputies have had to respond to a tiger attack. Last month, the sheriff's office announced it would not be filing charges against the man, River Rosenquist.
