animal attacks

On September 21, 2012, twenty-five year old David Villalobos purchased a pass for the Bronx Zoo and a ticket for a ride on the Bengali Express Monorail. Biding his time, he waited until the monorail was just near the enclosure of a four hundred pound Siberian tiger named Bashuta before leaping into it. They spent ten long minutes together in the tiger?s cage before nature took its course, with one exception: The tiger did not kill him. David?s only response: ?It?s a spiritual thing. I wanted to be at one with the tiger.?.
