After the attack, the zoo has closed its doors to visitors while working closely with the Israeli police to investigate how the tiger was able to escape into the courtyard where Nuri was working. The zoo emphasized that at no time were visitors in danger, as they were safely behind a glass barrier. Reports indicate that investigators are looking into the possibility that a door to the tiger's enclosure had become loose, allowing the big cat to escape.
The zoo expressed its deep sorrow over the incident, highlighting the immense pain felt by the staff, and extended condolences to Nuri's family. This tragic occurrence follows a previous incident last year when a worker was seriously injured by a crocodile that required hospitalization. The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo spans 62-acres and is dedicated to showcasing both biblical animal species and endangered creatures from around the globe.
