Biblical Zoo Employee in Critical Condition After Being Attacked by Leopard

JERUSALEM BIBLICAL ZOO, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL, AUG 1 – The leopard escaped during food preparation for a visitor tour, fatally injuring a 36-year-old employee; the zoo holds only two rare Persian leopards, a subspecies with about 1,500 left worldwide.

  • A zoo worker, Uriel Nuri, was seriously injured in a leopard attack at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, and was pronounced dead after being evacuated to the hospital.
  • During a behind-the-scenes feeding session, the leopard escaped its enclosure, prompting authorities to investigate how the breach occurred.
  • Emergency teams responded promptly and rushed Uriel Nuri to Hadassah-University Medical Centre, a paramedic said, “We immediately attempted to stop the bleeding.”
  • No visitors were at risk behind a glass window, as Moriah Station police are investigating the breach.
  • Months after two Persian leopards arrived for conservation, with around 1,500 Persian leopards worldwide, this incident highlights ongoing safety and conservation challenges.
