Tiger seen for first time after tragedy at Yorkshire Wildlife Park when man entered enclosure
Rangers greeted visitors at the enclosure and helped answer their questions.
The tiger which mauled a young man to death after he jumped into its enclosure was seen for the first time since the tragedy by visitors yesterday.
Altai, a 30-stone Amur tiger, was seen enjoying the autumn sunshine as the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster reopened to the public
A steady stream of visitors entered the park with some making their way to the 'Land of Tigers' where Altai was seen lying on his stomach under the wooded area of his two-acre enclosure.
Wildlife park rangers greeted visitors at the enclosure and helped answer their questions.
The park re-opening came just six days after William Chapman, aged 24, was fatally injured after jumping from an aerial walkway into the enclosure.
Mr Chapman's family later revealed that he suffered from schizophrenia and bouts of psychosis.
An inquest into his death was opened on Thursday and revealed he had died from multiple injuries.
Yesterday morning dozens of eager visitors, seemingly unfazed by last weekend's events, were seen flocking to the 175-acre park.
At the entrance to the 'Land of the Tigers' a zookeeper welcomed guests.
One keeper said that Altai was "doing fine" following the incident.
They also talked to visitors who had questions about the tiger.
Altai was seen wondering between his cage and the viewing platform.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is facing an investigation by the local authority, announced shortly after the tragic death that Altai would not be euthanised.
