Man attacked by tiger at Florida Everglades attraction, authorities say

The incident occurred in the same county where a tiger attacked a man at a zoo.

A man was attacked by a tiger at a Florida Everglades attraction after walking into the animal's enclosure, authorities said.

The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in Collier County, the same county where a man was attacked by a tiger at a zoo three months ago.

"We are having a hard time comprehending this happening again but want to share this breaking news with you," the Collier County Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted to Facebook Tuesday.

Deputies responded to a tiger attack at Wooten's Everglades Airboat Tours in Ochopee around 4:30 p.m., authorities said.
