A woman who went for a jog in a driving-only safari section of a zoo park to the west of Paris was attacked by wolves Sunday and left with serious injuries.
The incident took place at the Thoiry zoo, 25 miles west of Paris, according to French media reports.
The 37-year-old woman from Paris, who has not been identified, was mauled by three wolves and bitten in the back, calf and neck, French broadcaster TF1 reported. She was rushed to hospital but her condition has stabilized, the broadcaster added.
The mauling victim spent the night prior to the attack at the zoo’s visitor accommodation and appears to have been attacked when she entered an area of the reserve only accessible by car and off-limits to pedestrians, the local channel reported. She was found by the zoo keepers, who heard her screams.
An investigation into the accident has been launched, according to the French media.
