The tiger, Tatiana, reached through her bars and grabbed the unsuspecting Zoo keeper's arm. She was an experianced Zoo keeper and the attack was surprising. She has been working at the zoo since 1997. She was attempting to feed the tiger publicly through a small slot in which she was placing horse meat. It is the first serious animal attack at the San Francisco Zoo.
