White tiger cub bitten to death

A white tiger cub was bitten to death by three Bengal tigers in a wildlife park in Shandong province, a statement by the park confirmed on Wednesday.

"The most likely reason is excessive frolic," said the statement from the Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park in Rongcheng county, in Weihai, East China's Shandong province. The park was responding to public queries about possible hunger fighting and animal abuse.

The tiger cub was bitten on Monday morning and died at about 6 pm on Tuesday, according to the statement. A photographer recorded the incident.
