Two young children and their mother where sprayed urine by a tiger at a Nebraska zoo after they apparently stood a bit close to the other side of the cage. The bizarre incident was caught on tape and the video has emerged online. 

 

The video shows the moment a territorial tiger sprayed the young family with urine as they stood watching it. Before the incident, the animal can be seen pacing up and down when all of a sudden, it turned its back and sprayed the mother and two children with urine. 

 

After uploading the video online, the woman's husband wrote: “My wife and my two kids, (10-month-old son and 4-year-old daughter), were visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha."

 

“Usually the tigers and lions are napping when we visit, but this Siberian tiger named Nika was active.

 

"So, this is why my wife decided to start recording the tiger.

 

"She got our kids up as close as possible so they could see.

 

"Well, Nika decided to mark her territory and well, my wife and kids were in the wrong place at the right time.”
