The Oakland Zoo is now home to a female tiger rescued from a notorious Northern California wildlife sanctuary that was forced to shut down last year.
Growler Pines Tiger Preserve said in a statement that Ryan Easley died Saturday in "an accident" involving a tiger.
"Evidence gathered from the enclosure points towards him being alive when he was attacked by the tigers," an officer said.
"The animal regarded this as a threat" and killed the man, who was found dead near the remains of his dog, officials said.
The two-year-old Mila slipped off a bench after being given anesthesia for an important dental treatment, the zoo said.
Prosecutors distributed photos of the big cat resting in its cage alongside a dog, hoping residents will phone police if they see the tiger.
The tiger may be known for its beautiful coat and colorful stripes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it knows how to recreate them.
A new Downtown Commons bar is hoping to earn its stripes with New American small plates and cart-style service.
Border patrol agents are used to seeing many strange things on the US-Mexico border.
A California teen has been sentenced to six months in prison for smuggling in a Bengal tiger cub from Mexico.
Zoo officials say the tiger's mother became increasingly aggressive to the male cub and reunification became impossible.
