The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo has made a decision to leave the tiger 'Aladdin' on the zoo grounds - despite the fatal attack on Friday in which the keeper, the late Uriel Nouri, was killed.
The zoo management explained that after a professional examination, it was decided not to take action to remove the animal from the zoo. According to them, "the tiger was in a hurry himself, he didn't understand what happened.".
26-year-old Nuri worked as a caretaker in the predator department at the Biblical Zoo. He was bitten to death by a Persian tiger that was brought to Israel six months ago.
The zoo said that the tiger apparently managed to escape from the tiger enclosure while Uriel was preparing an enrichment activity - as part of a tour for visitors.
Following the tragic incident, the zoo was closed. An initial investigation by zoo staff and police revealed that one of the doors that was supposed to block the tiger remained open.
