The El Paso County Sheriff's Office tells 11 News a man has been bitten by
a tiger at Serenity Springs Wildlife Center, commonly known as the Big Cat
Sanctuary, in Calhan.
Lt. Lari Sevene says the victim was a volunteer at the sanctuary and was
apparently cleaning one of the cages when he got too close to one of the
tigers.
Sevene says the man was bitten in the right arm and that the bite was
significant but not life threatening. He was taken to the hospital.
The sanctuary is located at 24615 Scott Road in Calhan.
There are more than 120 big cats and exotics at the Big Cat Sanctuary.
Adds Josip:
I believe, right hand is for petting tigers. Not the whole arm.
