An eight-year-old girl suffered serious head injuries after a wolf attack at a wildlife park in Germany. Police are investigating the incident.
A wolf attacked an eight-year-old girl at a German wildlife park. This incident occurred at the Johannismühle park in Brandenburg.
Also, the park sits south of Berlin in the town of Baruth/Mark. The girl entered a wolf enclosure during her visit.
Then, a staff member accompanied the girl and two other children. Police officials are now investigating the exact cause of this attack.
Meanwhile, the young girl suffered serious head injuries. A helicopter flew her to a nearby hospital for emergency care.
As a result, no other people sustained injuries during this encounter. The park officials closed the site immediately after the event.
However, the website says the park will reopen on November 2. The park keeps several animals, including grey and arctic wolves.
Additionally, visitors can see brown bears and lynx at this location. Some reports suggest the attack happened before official opening hours.
Next, experts believe the girl participated in a special animal encounter. The park offers small group tours for guests to interact with animals.
Still, other animal incidents occurred recently in European parks. A leopard killed a keeper at a zoo in the Netherlands this week.
Finally, a tiger killed a man at a park in Yorkshire earlier this month. Authorities continue to look into the German case closely.
