Calgary police and zoo officials continue to investigate a tiger attack at the zoo overnight.
Zoo officials say two men broke into the zoo by jumping a fence and got too close to the tiger enclosure.
One of the suspects, believed to be in his 20's, came in contact with a big cat and paramedics say he suffered a traumatic arm injury.
Police add the injury is so bad the man may lose his arm.
He was rushed to Foothills Hospital in serious but stable condition.
Police took the second suspect into custody.
Zoo officials will be holding a news conference for Monday morning to discuss the situation further.
