The first pictures of Altai the tiger who killed a man in his enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park have been released.
The park has reopened to the public today after William Chapman was fatally injured by the tiger on Saturday.
He had scaled the fence and entered the enclosure, before Altai pawed at him before clamping down on his neck.
The park was evacuated and has remained closed until today, with new pictures showing Altai, an endangered Siberian tiger, eating meat.
They confirmed he will not be euthanised.

An inquest opening into William’s death heard he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, which is characterised by delusional thinking and hallucinations.
His provisional cause of death was ‘multiple traumatic injuries’, the coroner said.
Chapman, a self-employed online trader and former child actor, filmed his final moments as he approached the pen.
He asked park-goers to take a photo of him with the feline before entering the pen wearing headphones, witnesses say.
Video posted on social media showed William and Altai, which at one point grabbed and bit him near the middle of his back.
