I'm afraid that lady just blew her story to pieces. The moat is actually wider than first thought- 33 feet as opposed to 20 feet- well over the recommended width. If she had said the tiger jumped up from the bottom of the moat wall, which was actually 12.5 feet instead of 20, then she would be believable. Luckily, she came out with her BS before the true measurements were known. And the retired zoo keeper who conveniently wants to remain anonymous, probably confessed to killing Sharon Tate back in the 60's, too. And the other lunatic is even crazier. The tiger jumps 33 feet across the moat, grabs a piece of meat and then jumps back 33 feet. I doubt any reputable zoologist anywhere in the world would say this was possible unless there are flying tigers. Heck, if Jerry Springer had a show on it, he'd probably get ten or twenty people claiming the tiger almost got them as well.

The guys didn't say it was this particular enclosure. The point they were making about the tiger leaping up and grabbing meat was that Siberian tigers can really leap ~ tough little buggers.

If you look at the zoo map there are a good number of animal enclosures of varying depths WITH NO ROOFS.
