A zookeeper known to colleagues as the ‘Tiger Whisperer’ died after she was attacked by a rare species of the big cat.
Stacey Konwiser was killed by a 13-year-old Malayan tiger while she worked with him in an area off-limits to the public.
“She loved tigers You don’t get into this business without the love for the ¬animals and understanding the danger that’s involved," said Palm Beach Zoo spokeswoman Naki Carter.
 “I kind of referred to her as a tiger whisperer,” she added. “They spoke to each other in a language that only they could understand.
"I can’t put into words or make you understand for anyone who didn’t know Stacey how much she loved these tigers and how much this zoo family loved her.”
Her husband, Jeremy, is a trainer at the zoo.
