Male Tiger Fatally Mauls Female Tiger on Very Bad Zoo Date
LatestYet another mark against matchmaking and/or dating in general: a male tiger at London Zoo attacked and killed a female tiger on their very first date.
According to the New York Times, the zoo’s tiger keepers yearned to matchmake longtime female Sumatran tiger resident Melati with Asim, a male Sumatran tiger newly transplanted to the zoo from Denmark. Head tiger keeper Kathryn Sanders called Asim “a handsome, confident cat who is known for being very affectionate with the ladies in his life.”
