Compound Mechanism of Fatal Neck Injury: A Case Report of a Tiger Attack in a Zoo

Cases of attacks by large wild cats (tigers, leopards, pumas, lions) on humans are reported relatively rarely in the medical literature, including forensic reports, a fact highlighted by most authors of published case reports [1–22]. Some of the reported cases concern: attacks on zoo employees [1–4]; an attack on a zoo visitor during an attempt to feed an animal [5]; an accident in a private zoo [6]; an attack on a tiger trainer during a show [7]; an attack in an animal sanctuary in Oklahoma [8]; uncommon case of suicide in a lions’ den of a zoo [9]; and an attack on 2year-old girl by her father’s pet leopard [10].
