An experienced zookeeper (47) was attacked by a tiger at the Australian theme park Dreamworld and was seriously injured in her arm and shoulder. She suffered deep wounds and scratches, but survived.
It is still unclear why the animal attacked, but it was an “isolated and rare incident,” they said. A thorough investigation should clarify the background. The woman is being treated in a hospital.
In the park in the tourist region of Gold Coast on the east coast, a total of nine tigers of the species Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) live on “Tiger Island”. There are demonstrations for visitors twice a day.
Dreamworld is Australia’s largest theme park with its many rides and shows. In 2016, the theme park made sad headlines when four people died in an accident on a whitewater ride. A malfunction caused them to be thrown from their raft.
The park, which has been in existence since 1981, was closed for several months after the accident and the accident track was demolished.
