"I witnessed a close call once when a staff member was careless while working with a tiger cub. The staff member did not realize that the mother tiger was nearby and was very anxious about how he was handling the cub. I went in to relieve him because the tiger was beginning to show signs of aggression. I believe if I was not there at that time, he would have been seriously injured or worse."
