Man fatally mauled by tiger prayed, bowed down to big cat inside UK wildlife enclosure after stranger tried to pull him back
The man mauled to death by a tiger
at a UK zoo was seen “praying” and “bowing” to the beast after he jumped into its enclosure, witnesses said – while also revealing a stranger had desperately tried to pull him back as he leapt.
The man “started praying to the tiger, bowing down to it” after he made his way into the big cat’s enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday, witness Scarlet Hogan, 21, told The Telegraph.
“The tiger looked a bit confused,” she added
“Up until he got attacked, it was like he was in a trace, not in reality at all,” Hogan said
The zoo visitor also recounted that the man took his phone out and “looked like he was taking selfies” with the wild animal inside its home.
