"Scaredy-cat" Bengal tiger gets stuck at top of 15ft activity tower

A “scaredy-cat” Bengal tiger damaged his species’ fearless reputation after getting stuck at the top of a 15ft activity tower.

Two-year-old Tanvir was affectionately branded a “wimp” by keepers at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Wraxall, Bristol, after spending more than 24 hours at the summit.

The playful animal took just minutes to scale the tower, which has branch-like platforms to test the tigers’ ingenuity, but after shinning up the structure he was too frightened to come down.
