in Animal News

A man has just been killed by one of seven tigers who escaped from a zoo in the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia after severe flooding swept through the capital city of Tbilisi last weekend. Police officers then shot the big cat, who was hiding at an abandoned factory turned into a construction market when it attacked. The Tbilisi zoo had previously said all lions and tigers who were missing after the flooding had been found dead and that only one jaguar remained unaccounted for.
