   Officials are investigating why the keeper was in the enclosure   
   at the same time as the tiger   
      
   A Siberian tiger killed a Swiss zookeeper inside an enclosure on   
   Saturday as horrified visitors watched, officials said.   
      
   Onlookers called for help after the big cat began attacking the   
   keeper around 1 p.m. local time, the Zurich zoo said in a   
   statement. Staff rushed to their colleague’s aid and lured the   
   Siberian tiger, named Irina, out of the enclosure. First   
   responders tried to revive the keeper.   
      
   “Sadly, all help came too late. The woman died at the scene,”   
   Zurich police spokeswoman Judith Hoedl said.   
      
   Irina was born in 2015 at a zoo in the Danish city of Odense and   
   transferred to Zurich a year ago. Zurich zoo director Severin   
   Dressen said the tiger behaved normally before the attack.   
      
   An investigation is underway to determine why the keeper was in   
   the enclosure at the same time as the tiger, Hoedl said.   
      
   Dressen said the keeper had been a long-term member of the zoo   
   staff.   
      
   “Our full sympathy is with the relatives of the victim," he said.   
      
   The zoo called the incident "extremely tragic," but noted that   
   the attack was part of Irina's "natural instincts" as a wild   
   animal dealing with an intruder in her territory. Therefore, the   
   zoo said, the tiger would face no consequences for the attack.   
      
   Visitors and colleagues who witnessed the attack were receiving   
   psychological counseling, he said.
