A video of a white tiger attacking a woman visitor at a Russian zoo has gone viral.
The woman is seen sitting on a platform outside an enclosure that has the tiger.
A friend is taking the woman’s video and she is talking into the camera; you can see the tiger crouching and taking attack position in the background.
Call it instinct, she turns back in the nick of time to see the tiger pouncing upon her. Screaming she scampers away and is saved only by the tough glass barricade which spectacularly checks the tiger’s leap.
In a Japanese zoo recently, a glass barricade had similarly stopped a lion from pouncing upon the a child. The officials had said the lion was friendly and was trying to be playful.
This tiger, we are not sure.
