A 2-year-old in Miami got a little more up close and personal with nature than she bargained for when visiting the Jungle Island zoo in Miami, FL, when she found herself face-to-face with an escaped tiger.
Mahesh, a 230kg Bengal tiger, managed to jump over the 12-foot fence and roamed freely around the zoo for about 20 minutes.
Ms Barratt claims she walked around a corner to find her young daughter Dianita calmly staring into the eyes of the huge animal.
