Actually, upon further thought I do not know whether the animal was wild or in captivity. Knowing where this took place would probably make it clear, though I didn't actually read the full story. But in any case, the animal was "on the loose" when it attacked. | ||

To all rest, remember I said I would know these if I had read the story. I could try and find it again if you wish... but the fact that I didn't need to know all this to make the puzzle should be a hint. Did this take place in a zoo? Circus? animal preserve? Did it happen in North America? South America? Europe? Africa? Asia? Australia? Antarctica? Oceania? Caribbean? Micronesia? Arctic? | ||

But the one in this puzzle happened only a few days before I posted it. Hint: The details of the tiger attack are irrelevant, so to save you trouble I'll just say that a woman somewhere saved her husband from being attacked by a tiger. But there is another recent event that is also relevant to this puzzle. | ||
