Zookeeper who was attacked by a Sumatran tiger at the Topeka Zoo has been removed from an intensive care unit, but remains in a hospital.
A Kansas zookeeper who was attacked by a Sumatran tiger at the Topeka Zoo over the weekend is on the mend, officials said Monday.
An investigation into why the zookeeper was in the same enclosure with the 7-year-old tiger is underway. Video from a webcam observed by ABC News showed the zookeeper walking in the tiger's enclosure, apparently dragging a water hose just before the attack occurred. "Our staff response saved a keeper's life, saved the tiger's life, and it truly is a miracle what happened. It could have been so much worse," Shanna Simpson, animal care supervisor at the zoo, told ABC News.
