The lioness grabbed the child by her legs and tried to pull her closer. However, a man nearby rushed to the girl’s rescue, and a struggle ensued between him and the lioness. The man tried his best and managed to save the girl, but the lioness, using its strong claws, held onto her until the last moment, injuring her and ripping her pants. The girl sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
According to officials, the girl was in an interactive animal-feeding area when the incident occurred. However, given her age, she should not have been so close to the cage in the first place. The zoo has reportedly been temporarily closed, and an investigation is underway to determine how the incident unfolded and what further measures should be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
