3-Year-Old Falls into Zoo’s Jaguar Exhibit
A three-year-old boy was hurt Friday morning when he fell into the jaguar exhibit at the Little Rock Zoo and was reportedly bit by two of the jungle cats. “Zoo staff responding at the jaguar exhibit immediately called for help over the radio and were assisted by other staff with a fire extinguisher to keep the cats away from the child,” the zoo said in a statement.
