HEFEI, China, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A Siberian tiger escaped from an unlocked cage in Wuhu, China, and roamed a public park before being shot and killed by police, officials said.
The female tiger escaped late Monday from a public zoo after a zookeeper who had fed the nine-year-old endangered animal forgot to properly lock the cage, the official state-run Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday.
