SAN DIEGO, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A female Malayan tiger at the San Diego Zoo died during mating after the male tiger bit her neck and severely injured her spinal cord, zoo officials said.

two tigers were "involved in the mating process"

After a romantic dinner and roses, I know "Dear, shall we get involved with the mating process tonight?" works every time.

I think this is a horrible shame. She was a beautiful animal, endangered species?

So I’d like to know: a. what the zookeepers might have but did not do to prevent this and b. does this happen when tigers mate in the wild?

I guess she didn’t want to assume the position?

Any reason why artificial insemination should be ruled out?

Most women like a little neck nibble now and then, but that’s going a bit too far...

I guess we at least know why that part of the species is “endangered”...

a. Nothing. Who's gonna get between the male's teeth and the female?

b. Yes.

“Often the male will grab the [female] by the back of the neck...and sometimes you get an overzealous animal who takes it a little too far. It’s the nature of the beast”...Malayan tigers are highly endangered in the wild.

Well, habitually killing your mate while mating WILL have that result!
