A pregnant tigress in a wild animal park in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, jumped over a three-metre-high fence last Tuesday afternoon.

After a day hanging around and attacking a pony, the tigress, 4, was finally brought under control by a tranquilizer dart gun, Xinhua News Agency reports.

Local police informed area residents not to go out.

The park called in an expert from Shanghai who shot the tiger with a dart that tranquilized her after she had become tired enough not to avoid him.
