Jaguar injures man at Florida zoo
Fox News
A man was injured by a jaguar at the Jacksonville Zoo in Florida after climbing over a barrier and moving too close to the animal’s enclosure, officials said.
The man climbed over a waist-high safety barrier that puts about 4 feet of empty space between visitors and the jaguar exhibit’s fence, zoo spokeswoman Kelly Rouillard said. The man began taunting the jaguar and reached his hand through the fence, she said. A 12-year-old big cat named Harry swiped at the man and injured him. Rouillard said the feline was acting as part of his normal behavior for a wild animal and didn’t expect anything to happen to him. Officials confirmed that Harry was involved in a fight that left another jaguar dead earlier this year.More Related News
