[13] The Dhaliwal brothers received deep bites and claw wounds on their heads, necks, arms, and hands.

[17] Police undertook an investigation to determine whether one of the victims climbed over a waist-high fence and then dangled a leg or other body part over the edge of a moat around the tiger enclosure.

[20][21] It was also substantially lower than the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' recommended minimum, 16 feet 4 inches (4.98 m), for such enclosures.

[21] Tatiana's rear paws were embedded with concrete chips, suggesting that she had pushed against the moat wall during her escape.

"[1] Sources told the San Francisco Chronicle that pine cones and sticks that might have been thrown at Tatiana had been found and which could not have landed in the vicinity naturally.

[24] Zoo visitor Jennifer Miller and her family allegedly saw the group of men, including an unidentified fourth person, taunting lions less than an hour before the tiger attack.

[26] In early January 2008, the lead investigator for the city said that the men may have harassed Tatiana, but no charges were filed against them for such behavior.

[30][29] Reporters also noted that "[p]olice found a small amount of marijuana in Kulbir Dhaliwal's 2002 BMW, which the victims drove to the zoo, as well as a partially filled bottle of vodka, according to court documents.

[14][32] On February 16, 2008, the zoo re-opened the exterior tiger exhibit which was extensively renovated to meet the extension of the concrete moat wall up to the minimum height of 16 feet 4 inches from the bottom of the moat, installation of glass fencing on the top of the wall to extend the height to 19 feet, and installation of electrified "hotwire".

PLEASE don't tap on glass, throw anything into exhibits, make excessive noise, tease or call out to them.

[34][35] Four police officers – Scott Biggs, Yukio Oshita, Kevin O'Leary and Daniel Kroos – were honored for bravery during the incident.
