A man died after entering a tiger enclosure and being attacked at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster on Saturday, South Yorkshire Police said.

Police received reports at about 1:35 p.m. that a man had entered the enclosure. Emergency personnel attended, including two land ambulances, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and a doctor, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. His family has been informed and is being supported by specialist officers.

The park activated its emergency procedures and evacuated visitors after the incident. It said it was working with authorities to establish what happened and would remain closed on Sunday.

Police said the tiger was not injured, remained inside the enclosure and posed no wider risk to the public. The force also urged people not to share distressing footage circulating online.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park opened in 2009, and its Land of the Tigers attraction opened in 2011. According to The Punch, a 300-metre raised walkway runs through its Land of the Tigers section, allowing visitors to view the animals in their habitat.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: One detail about the Land of the Tigers walkway should be aligned with the source wording. - "The purpose-built reserve includes a raised walkway from which visitors can view the animals.": The sources describe the raised walkway, but the specific phrasing that visitors can view the animals from it is not supported except in The Punch as a 300-metre walkway through Land of the Tigers allowing visitors to view the animals in their habitat; the sentence can be corrected to match the source.
