An Israeli-born Sumatran tiger named Oz killed a New Zealand zookeeper today (Sunday).
Samantha Kudeweh had worked in zoos for more than 20 years. It is unclear what caused today's incident.
The Hamilton Zoo is the fourth most popular zoo in New Zealand. Officials say that it will be shut down until Thursday in order to investigate and handle the situation.
Sumatran tigers are critically endangered. There are fewer than 400 still living in the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
