Persian leopard attacked Flemish zookeeper at Beekse Bergen

An experienced animal keeper from Flanders was seriously injured when a Persian leopard attacked her at Beekse Bergen Safari Park in Hilvarenbeek. Colleagues heard a scream and received an emergency call over the walkie-talkie, after which a trauma helicopter landed. The woman has worked at the park for 25 years. The incident underscores that wild animals remain dangerous even in captivity.
