Girl, 8, Attacked by Wolf in German Wildlife Park
The girl was airlifted to a trauma centre after the attack, and officials said an independent investigation will examine how it happened.
- On Wednesday morning, an eight-year-old girl was critically injured in a wolf attack at the Johannismühle wildlife park in Brandenburg and airlifted to a trauma centre in Marzahn by rescue helicopter.
- According to Bild, the girl was participating in a visitor program allowing guests to act as zookeepers; the attack occurred before the park opened, and the absence of cameras inside the enclosure complicates investigation efforts.
- Authorities closed the park and launched an independent investigation; police stated "the precise circumstances of the incident are the subject of an ongoing police investigation."
- This incident follows the death of a Dutch zookeeper on Tuesday after a leopard attack and the death of William Chapman earlier this month at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
- Recurring wildlife tragedies increase pressure on facilities to tighten visitor access and safety protocols; investigations into the Yorkshire Wildlife Park incident previously prompted concerns about visitor contact with animals and mental health oversight.
