Toddler Faces Off With Escaped Tiger

Woman & 2-year-old daughter get up-close look at 500-pound Bengal tiger
A 2-year-old girl survived a stare-down with a 500-pound Bengal tiger after the tiger escaped its enclosure. This all took place at Jungle Island in Miami, Florida. First, a White-Handed Gibbon escaped its enclosure and wandered to the tiger exhibit, where he riled up the massive Bengal tiger.
"With the momentum and the excitement he had from seeing the gibbon, (the tiger) was able to get over the fence," Jungle Island's Ashley Serrate said.

The mom of the toddler recalled the scary moment, "She started walking down the trail ahead of me, and I decided just to leave the stroller and my purse behind and go after her," Diana said. "I rounded the corner and she's standing there staring at this tiger. It's very scary to have your 2-year-old daughter in such close proximity to a tiger."

Watch the video to learn more about this "freak accident", as described by officials at Jungle Island, that fortunately left the toddler and mom uninjured. What would you do if that was your toddler? Do you think you would be able to remain calm?
