I have. When I was in the Navy I went to the Barcelona zoo and was trying to photgraph a polar bear. It jumped in the water and came straight up at me. It was a tall wall, but it seemed pretty close to me. Close enough to give me a fright.
The Tiger attack recently in San Jose Calafornia made me remember and wonder how safe are zoo's.

I had a run in with a tiger so this episode in the news has really freaked me out. Me and my family were looking through the cage at the tigers at Whipsnade and they went mad trying to get at my son (he was a toddler) - there was a baby elephant calling in distress at the time just round the corner and it seemed to get them all riled up and they were standing up at the fence and pacing. There were about 4/5 of themand whichever way my son went they followed, made me wonder what we could do if they ever got out - how could you ever outrun one - I will really think twice about zoos now.
Also my dad went to a zoo in singapore once and that night on the news he saw the bridge he had been standing on and the story was of a crocodile that had escaped and made it onto the bridge - a lucky escape.

My wife used to work at the Wild Animal Park (San Diego)..she was an elephant keeper. I went into the barn with her and an elephant threw a bucket at my head. Luckily they have a system set up that keeps the keepers from being in the actual stall with the big game animals. This is because years ago, an Asian elephant sat back on a keeper, crushing her to death. That was pretty sad.

A giraffe licked my hand and I touched a rhino's snout while it was reaching up eating a bush.......(and JUST heard on the news: the tiger victim may have been dangling his leg(s) into the moat....no comment here.)

A skinny little monkey stole my visor from my hand once and ran about his cage with it as the other monkeys chased after him trying to get it back for me...
