Toddler Injured by Wolf After Crawling Under Pennsylvania Zoo's Exterior Metal Fence
The park said the unsupervised 18-month-old crawled under an exterior fence and reached the wolf enclosure before the animal made contact.
- On Saturday, an 18-month-old child suffered minor injuries at ZooAmerica in Hershey after crawling under an exterior perimeter fence and inserting their hand through a primary metal enclosure surrounding a wolf habitat.
- According to a Hershey Entertainment & Resorts spokesperson, the unsupervised toddler breached the exterior fence and approached the wolf enclosure, where the animal made contact with the child's hand.
- ZooAmerica officials stated the child was never inside the primary enclosure, emphasizing that "our habitats are designed with multiple layers of protection, and clear signage and barriers are in place to help ensure safe viewing."
- Hershey maintained the wolf's response was "consistent with natural animal behavior and was not a sign of aggression," while confirming the child's injuries remained minor.
- The incident came one day after police presence at Hersheypark following multiple fights between groups of teens during the park's opening day.
