SYDNEY: A tiger attacked a keeper at a zoo in Australia on Thursday, leaving him with a "significant puncture wound" to the head at the popular tourist attraction, officials said.
The man in his 40s was treated by paramedics at the Sunshine Coast's Australia Zoo, founded by the family of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, for wounds to his forehead and wrist and scratches to his body, a Queensland state ambulance spokesman said.
