The post featured a picture of confetti that was discovered in the nearly 5-year-old Bengal tiger's home, along with a suspicion as to how it may have made its way into the habitat.

'Mike' said, "We’re having a problem with confetti getting into the habitat. Folks are taking graduation pics and using confetti, but it’s blowing into my yard and my caretakers have to pick it up because if I eat it, it could be harmful. Please take photos without using confetti."
