Seriously injured
Panda attacks keepers at the zoo
Bad accident in Belgium: in one of the country’s zoos, a panda attacks a keeper. Other employees rush to help their colleague. The man arrives at a clinic with serious injuries.
A panda bear seriously injured a keeper at a Belgian zoo on Saturday afternoon. The zookeeper had direct contact with four-year-old Tian Bao in a hallway in the panda house that was separated from the public, the Belgian news agency reported, citing the Pairi Daiza zoo in the south-west of the country.
The panda injured the man in the arm and leg. The companions reacted quickly and took the animal away without injuring it. The zookeeper was taken to a nearby hospital. Belga wrote that her life was apparently not in danger.
Normally, in Pairi Daiza, any direct contact between humans and adult pandas is prohibited for security reasons. Bears are solitary and do not tolerate intruders on their territory. The caretaker has been working in the park for several years and is familiar with safety precautions, he said.
