- South Yorkshire Police confirmed the tiger remained in the enclosure, posing no wider risk to the public. Officers urged the public not to share 'distressing' footage of the incident circulating online.
- Authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances of the breach while the park stated that visitor and animal safety remain their 'highest priority.' Officials continue carrying out enquiries at the Doncaster site.
