On Sunday, a woman staying at a French safari zoo was attacked by several wolves after she entered a part of the zoo usually accessible only by car. The incident occurred at the Thoiry zoological park in Yvelines, approximately 50 kilometers west of Paris.
The 37-year-old woman, who had spent the night at the park, went out jogging and accidentally entered the safari zone, a seven-hectare space where animals, wolves, and bears roam freely. It was during her run that the wolves attacked her, causing serious injuries. She was bitten on the neck, calf, and back.
The zoo's CEO, Christelle Bercheny, stated that medical staff intervened quickly and were able to save the woman. She was promptly treated at the nearest hospital, and her condition has since stabilized.
An investigation has been launched by the zoo to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack. The safety protocols and access restrictions within the park are being reviewed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
