If you have been with your family to the Florida Everglades then possibly you have even been to this airboat attraction. A Florida man was mauled by a tiger on Tuesday afternoon at Wooten Everglades Airboat Tours. The sheriff's Facebook post explained that "a tiger in an enclosure at (Wooten's Airboats) was being fed by its caretaker when a 50-year-old male, an employee of Wooten's who was not authorized to be with the tiger, entered the tiger's enclosure." He continued writing, "The tiger attacked the man and caused injuries to both arms."
Reports say that although the victim was sent to a local hospital, the tiger was not injured in the altercation, because it's caretaker was able to safely contain it shortly after the incident.
