  • As he ignored the patrolling staff’s warnings, he reportedly made noises to verbally provoke the tigers.
  • The apex predators tolerated the tourist before they were successfully distracted by the park’s staff. They were lured into their cages after the staff members threw firecrackers and food at them.
  • Jiang was successfully rescued without any injuries. He was detained by the police and is under investigation for “seriously damaging public order.”
