Tiger, tiger, burning bright/In the forests of the night/What immortal hand or eye/Did you eat this weekend?

An allegedly drunk woman’s, it turns out:

Jacqueline Eide, 33, managed to get inside Henry Doorly Zoo before it had opened with the intention of petting a tiger, according to a police statement. When she allegedly reached into a cage, a tiger — which zoo officials believe to have been Mai — bit Eide’s hand, causing severe trauma.

A friend of the woman took her to Creighton University Medical Center, where she remains for treatment.

And they say nothing happens in Nebraska.
