A woman, 36, is battling for life in intensive care after she was attacked by three wolves in a French safari park while out for a jog.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The jogger was staying at a lodge within Thoiry Park on the outskirts of Paris when on her run she strayed into the main safari zone, which is reserved for cars.
She was rescued after park attendants heard her screams as she was being attacked, and was taken to a nearby hospital.
The incident took place around 9am Sunday, and wolves bit the woman in the ‘neck, calf and back’ at the Wow Safari Thoiry zoo in Yvelines.
POLICE STATEMENT
A police source told Le Parisien: ‘We do not know at this stage whether the guest made a mistake or whether there was a problem with the signposts.’
Sunday morning the woman ‘crossed the enclosure on foot’, a reserve ‘which is only accessible by car’, the chief executive officer of the Wow Safari Thoiry park, Christelle Bercheny, said.
It is not clear why the woman entered the car-only safari zone.
