A TIGER has escaped its enclosure at Cologne Zoo in western Germany and killed a female keeper before being shot dead by the zoo's director, police said.

The tiger, named Altai, managed to get from the enclosure to an adjacent storage building, where it attacked the 43-year-old keeper, said police spokesman Stefan Kirchner.

"It appears the gate wasn't properly shut," Mr Kirchner said.
