Cambridgeshire Police said Tuesday that the tiger is unharmed.
The zoo described the clash Monday with the tiger as a "freak accident." The zoo was evacuated as a precaution but officials said the public was never at risk and the tiger did not escape.
King had worked at the zoo for roughly 14 years.
