Ep. 21: The Boy Who Cried "Tiger"

On Christmas Day in 2007,  Carlos Sousa Jr. and his friends Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwhal decided to spend their afternoon at the San Francisco Zoo. One of the last exhibits they wanted to see before the zoo closed that night was the zoo's 4-year old and 243 pound (110kg)  Siberian Tiger, Tatiana. The boys just didn't realize exactly how close they were going to get.This case was extremely rare, especially in an AZA-accredited institution.
