A Siberian tiger<\/a> killed a Swiss<\/a> zookeeper inside an enclosure on Saturday as horrified visitors watched, officials said.<\/p>\n

Onlookers called for help after the big cat began attacking the keeper around 1 p.m. local time, the Zurich zoo said in a statement<\/a>. Staff rushed to their colleague\u2019s aid and lured the Siberian tiger, named Irina, out of the enclosure. First responders tried to revive the keeper.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, all help came too late. The woman died at the scene,\u201d Zurich police spokeswoman Judith Hoedl said.<\/p>\n

Irina was born in 2015 at a zoo in the Danish city of Odense and transferred to Zurich a year ago. Zurich zoo director Severin Dressen said the tiger behaved normally before the attack.<\/p>\n

An investigation is underway to determine why the keeper was in the enclosure at the same time as the tiger, Hoedl said.<\/p>\n

Dressen said the keeper had been a long-term member of the zoo staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur full sympathy is with the relatives of the victim,” he said.<\/p>\n

The zoo called<\/a> the incident “extremely tragic,” but noted that\u00a0the attack was part of Irina’s “natural instincts” as a wild animal\u00a0dealing with an intruder in her territory. Therefore, the zoo said, the tiger would face no consequences for the attack.<\/p>\n

Visitors and colleagues who witnessed the attack were receiving psychological counseling, he said.<\/p>\n

The zoo, which only recently reopened following a coronavirus-related shutdown, remained closed Sunday. It is expected to reopen Monday, although the tiger complex will remain closed.<\/p>\n
