      I very much like this sign. What does vorsight mean?

      Has this happened to anyone else. It happened to me from a lion at Melbourne Zoo.

      Kudu, a tiger at longleat attempted it several times but i had had prior warning so i managed to avoid the jets.

      Almost! It was a tiger in Zurich, funnily enough, around 1972. The notice then said something like 'Achtung! Tiger spretzen!'
      I was wondering what that could mean, but it suddenly all made sense when the male tiger turned his back on me and lifted his tail . . .
      Fortunately in those days I could move faster than I could translate from German :D

      "Vorsicht!" = "Beware!"
      and "spritzen", not spretzen...;)

      Thank you! It was a long time ago . . . and my attention was distracted as I reached the end of the line :D
