Chester Zoo wanted to advertise a family-friendly big cat tour. But the naming choice did the opposite: ‘How did that get approved?’

Tickets for a “child predator tour” appeared on Chester Zoo’s site during a promotion for a new guided bus outing, according to The Telegraph. Zoo officials later stated that the wording was produced by a computer error and was not a title that staff had written. The private 90-minute ride was intended to show visitors Sumatran tigers, lions, rhinos, and Komodo dragons before regular opening hours.

The attraction’s website called the trip a way to see predators of the animal kingdom and their prey. It said riders would board an electric tour bus and spend 90 minutes in the zoo with no crowds. Listings also offered an “adult predator tour” at £30, or £60 when bundled with admission. Child tickets were shown at £25 for the tour only and £55 with admission.
