'Tony' the tiger pulled from moat at SF zoo (AP)

In this photo taken Tuesday, March 30, 2010,  San Francisco Fire Department personnel and San Francisco Zoo staff members prepare to lift Tony, an 18-year-old Siberian tiger, from a moat after being shot with tranquilizers at the San Francisco Zoo. Zoo officials decided on Monday, March 29, 2010, that Tony could no longer stay in the dry moat he climbed into last week, since excrement was piling up and officials worried about a potential health hazard. With the help of firefighters, they used tranquilizer darts on the 360-pound tiger, strapped him to a board and hauled him out with a pulley. Siberian tigers have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in the wild and 14 to 20 years in captivity.
