10 times tourists were killed by wild animals

3. Siberian Tiger Kills One, Injures Two

On Christmas Day 2007, Tatiana, a 320-pound Siberian tiger, escaped from her tiger grotto at the San Francisco Zoo, killing 17-year old Carlos Sousa Jr. and mauling his two friends, Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwal, before being shot and killed. It wasn’t the first time Tatiana showed signs of violence and aggression. In 2006, the tiger clawed and bit a veteran zookeeper, Lori Komejan.

It was never proven but investigators believe Tatiana was provoked into clawing and leaping her way out of the grotto. Jennifer Miller, who was at the zoo with her husband and children at the time, said: “the boys, especially the older one, were roaring at the lions. He was taunting them.”
