Dutch zookeeper dies after leopard attack at safari park
A zookeeper who had worked at Beekse Bergen Safari Park in the Netherlands for 40 years died after being mauled by a leopard on Saturday.
A zookeeper at Beekse Bergen Safari Park in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands, has died from injuries sustained in a leopard attack on Saturday. The woman, whose name has been withheld under Dutch privacy law, had worked at the park since age 17. She suffered serious head and neck wounds while in an enclosure with two male Persian leopards, which had been moved indoors due to bad weather. Despite her injuries, she alerted colleagues via walkie-talkie and was airlifted to hospital for emergency surgery, but died on Tuesday. An independent investigation is underway to determine how the incident occurred, as the indoor enclosure lacks CCTV cameras. The park said staff are typically not permitted in the same space as predatory animals. The leopards will not be euthanised.
