Mahesh, a rare 500lb golden tiger, scaled a 14ft fence after leaping in the air to catch the cheeky monkey. The big cat landed amid a crowd of terrified people at Jungle Island, Miami. Some were knocked down rushing to a barn for safety.
One woman said: "That monkey was jumping everywhere, all over the umbrellas and the concession stands." Larry Rhodes, 46, said: "People were running for their lives."
The four-year-old tiger, which had been hand-reared, did not hurt anyone during its prowl around the grounds. Within 30 minutes, staff had lured Mahesh back to its one acre enclosure using a pile of raw meat.
