Tiger attack woman ........on Halloween night......

Breaking into a Nebraska zoo to "pet" a tiger has left a woman with injuries from the big cat and a citation for criminal trespass.

Jacqueline Eide, 33, apparently evaded security to sneak into Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo on Halloween night.

She was bitten Sunday morning and taken to Creighton University Medical Center by a friend, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement Sunday.

Officers were later called "regarding a disturbance" at the hospital. "Eide was aggressive toward staff and showed signs of intoxication of alcohol and/or drugs," police said.

"Through investigation, it was learned that Eide had made unauthorized entry into the Zoo to pet a tiger. When she reached into the cage, she was bitten causing severe trauma to her hand," police said

The zoo said two people had trespassed "after hours on Halloween night," one of whom had been injured.

"The tiger believed to have been involved in the incident was Mai, an 18-year-old, Malayan tiger," it said.

The zoo's executive director, Dennis Pate, said that the safety and security of its guests were a priority.

"Emergency phone numbers are printed on maps for guests to call in case of an emergency, and security staff keep watch on grounds around the clock," he said.

Ancelotti could replace Mourinho......

Chelsea could make a move to ditch Jose Mourinho if he doesn't turn things around at Stamford Bridge in the next two games - and replace him with Carlo Ancelotti.

Mourinho has overseen six defeats in Chelsea's first 11 Premier League games of the season to leave them in 15th place, 14 points off league leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, after the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool yesterday.

The Special One is now facing a fight to keep his job less than six months after guiding the club to their first title since 2011 - won under Ancelotti.

According to ESPN, Mourinho will be out of the job if he doesn't guide Chelsea to victories in the Champions League against Dynamo Kiev, and in the Premier League against Stoke. The club's board had previously given Mourinho a vote of confidence but ESPN claims that extends only up to the international break, and if results haven't improved before then he will be out on his ear.

Ancelotti is the most likely replacement having been let go by Real Madrid over the summer. The Italian, who also guided Chelsea to the FA Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge, is believed to be keen on a return, even if it was only on a temporary basis to start with.
