At the Naples, Florida zoo, a man working for a cleaning maintenance company entered a restricted area where a Malaysian tiger bit his arm.
Sheriffs arrived and shot the tiger.
The sheriff’s office said the man was either petting or feeding the tiger when the tiger bit him and wouldn’t let go.
The tiger’s name was Eko. The cleaning man now knows what can happen when you try to be Eko friendly.
Eko had a diet of horse meat. When asked if he ate anything else, the zoo spokesperson said “Nay.” But not all tigers eat meat. A famous movie tiger had a life of pie.
A lot of people think tigers are cowardly since when they attack humans it's usually from behind. In one tiger attack, the tiger approached 4 armed men from behind who were bending over, naked. Turned out the poor tiger was behind the 8 balls.
Tigers might seem chicken to humans, but to tigers, humans taste like chicken.
Tiger body parts are sold on the black market. Tiger penises are considered aphrodisiacs and go for around $300 each, so if you want one, bring your wife and dicker.
Tigers customarily eat deer and wild boar, so the Secret Service was alerted when another tiger from the same zoo escaped a year ago. It seems Mara Lago was only a couple hours away, and home to one famous wild bore.
The news travelled far and wide. Tony the Tiger heard the news and was so upset that he got frosted.
Finally, famed poet Amanda Gorman heard the news and wrote the following poem:
Tiger Tiger burning bright, In the zoo by day and night, What immoral cleaning guy, Would pet Eko or even try? |
