Tiger bites 4 year old as uncle’s Bengal tiger severs arm
In Houston a four year old boy had his right arm ripped off by his uncle Larry Tidwell’s pet Bengal tiger. Surgeons reattached the limb in a nine hour operation at Memorial Hermann Children’s Hospital. The boy remains in serious condition with infection and clotting risks, while Tidwell was cited for keeping a dangerous animal without a permit. The tiger Cheyenne is a declawed four year old female living in the yard behind the family home.
