A seven-month-old tiger fell to its death from a Chinese high-rise building, state media reported on 24th February 2015, apparently frightened by Lunar New Year fireworks.
A couple driving home from a New Year's dinner found the animal next to the building in Pingdu in the eastern province of Shandong and called police. Police speculated the noise probably frightened the animal, causing it to break out of its cage in an apartment before plunging to its death.
China's population of captive tigers has boomed in recent years with up to 6,000 in about 200 farms across the country.
