Prankster killed by irate tiger February 22, 2001
A YOUNG zoo keeper in the eastern Chinese city of Jinan was mauled to
death by a tiger after apparently defecating on it in a prank which
went badly wrong. Evidence at the scene, including lavatory paper,
excrement and a loosened trouser belt, suggested that Xu Xiaodong, 18,
had climbed on the tiger cage at the animal park where he worked and
relieved himself over four Bengal tigers. Officials believe that he
either slipped or was dragged in by an angry tiger. David Rennie,
