You’ve got to have a huge pair down there to even think that you could subdue wild animals. At a Singapore zoo, a zoo keeper named Nordin Montong managed to slip past security and climb into a tiger’s enclosure. He waded through the moat inside the enclosure where three hungry white tigers are waiting to be fed. No one knows for sure why he seemed very confident as he was entering the enclosure. He appeared to have been taunting the tigers with his broom and a bucket.

One of the tigers lunged at him and knocked him over. Visitors thought what they were seeing was a staged scene, but when one of the tigers bit Montong in the back and dragged him into the den, people started to scream and other zoo staffs were alerted. Montong was recovered, but his wounds in the back and neck and a fractured skull caused his death even before he could be brought to the hospital.
