Zookeepers attacked by white tiger at Liberec zoo

A zookeeper was attacked by a white tiger at the zoo in the north Bohemian town of Liberec on Thursday morning. He sustained head injuries but his life is not in danger, a spokesperson for the local emergency services said. Two other zoo employees were slightly hurt as they tried to rescue their colleague. After the attack, the escaped seven-year-old tiger moved about the zoo for about an hour before being tranquilised and recaptured. Liberec zoo is known for its white tigers, a rare breed believed to no longer exist in the wild.
