Default Timid tiger gets stuck up tower

A 2 year-old Bengal tiger called Tanvir is stuck at the top of his new 15ft (5m) activity tower after climbing it for the first time.

"There's a smaller tower, of about 5ft (1.52m), and even that took him half an hour to get down from, so he's a bit of a scaredy cat. He's still stuck at the top today. Every time he gets to the edge, he looks out, puts a paw over, and thinks, 'no, I'm not doing it!' He will make his way down when he gets too cold or hungry. He got up there within seconds but he can't get back down. It was made to challenge him but he's a bit of a wimp."
