A man has died after entering the tiger enclosure at an animal attraction in Yorkshire, according to police.
Emergency services were called to Yorkshire Wildlife Park after the tiger "attacked" the man shortly after 1.30pm on Saturday afternoon.
But the man was pronounced dead at the scene and his family have been told, South Yorkshire Police said.
The tiger was "uninjured" and remains in the enclosure, posing "no wider risk to the public", the force added.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park, located near Doncaster, said in a statement earlier: "Our emergency response procedures were immediately activated, and emergency services are currently attending the scene.
"We are working closely with the authorities to ascertain exactly what happened."
Yorkshire Wildlife Park added the "safety and wellbeing of visitors, staff and animals remain our highest priority".
South Yorkshire Police said it had "received reports of a man entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park" on Saturday afternoon.
"The tiger subsequently attacked the man, resulting in serious injury," police said.
"Emergency services attended and sadly, despite the best efforts of medical personnel, the man was pronounced dead at the scene."
Yorkshire Wildlife Park was then evacuated and closed down for the rest of the weekend, officers and the park said.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park opened in 2009 and describes itself as a "walk-through wildlife adventure" that houses animals including lions, giraffes, tigers, leopards and black rhinos.
A 300 metre-long raised walkway runs through the 'Land of the Tigers' section, from which visitors can spot the animals roaming around, according to the park's website.
A Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesperson confirmed two land ambulances, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and a doctor had attended the scene.
