Yorkshire Wildlife Park said it would remain closed Sunday after a man entered a tiger enclosure and was fatally attacked the previous day, authorities and the park said.
South Yorkshire Police received reports at about 1:35 p.m. Saturday that a man had entered the enclosure at the park near Doncaster in northern England. The tiger attacked him, causing serious injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts by emergency medical personnel. His family has been informed and is receiving support from specialist officers.
It was not immediately clear how or why the man entered the enclosure. The park was evacuated after the attack, and police began investigating the circumstances. Authorities also urged the public not to share distressing footage circulating online that appeared to show the man inside the enclosure.
The tiger, named Altai, was uninjured and remained in its enclosure throughout the incident. The Guardian reported Sunday that the park said the animal was safe and well and would not be euthanised. Police said there was no wider danger to the public.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park said it was working with authorities to establish what happened and would provide specialist support to staff affected by the incident. The park’s Land of the Tigers attraction, which opened in 2011, is a purpose-built two-acre reserve for endangered Amur tigers.

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: The story is broadly supported, but two timing/status claims need tighter attribution to the sources. - "Yorkshire Wildlife Park remained closed Sunday after a man entered a tiger enclosure and was fatally attacked the previous day, authorities and the park said.": The sources say the park said Saturday it would remain closed Sunday, but they do not establish that it remained closed Sunday except RTÉ's 'will remain closed today' phrasing; to avoid overstating the status, attribute the closure to the park's announcement. - "The park said Sunday that the animal was safe and well and would not be euthanised.": The Guardian says the park made the statement Sunday, but the other sources do not; this can be fixed by attributing it to the Guardian.
