The tiger that fatally mauled a visitor at a British wildlife park over the weekend will not be euthanized, authorities said Sunday.

Altai, a young male Siberian tiger, was filmed biting and clawing at the parkgoer’s back after the man climbed into the big cat’s enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in northern England on Saturday afternoon.

The unidentified man is believed to have leapt from a viewing platform shortly after asking a stranger to take a picture of him with the 420-pound tiger.

The man was dragged away by Altai before rangers fired two warning sH๏τs from a sH๏τgun to scare the tiger back into his pen.

“We would like to thank everyone who has expressed their concern following yesterday’s tragic incident,” Yorkshire Wildlife Park said in a statement on Sunday reported by BBC News.
