Exotic Incident #447

Result:

Summary:

A 350-pound African lion ripped the arm off a 21-year-old Busch Gardens zookeeper while she was giving her family a private tour. The injury was not the first for Busch, which housed hippos, hyenas, baboons, and crocodiles. In 1989, an animal keeper was crushed to death by a 2-ton elephant. In 1993, a rattlesnake bit a zookeeper, who survived. And in 1999, a woman claimed that a Clydesdale horse bit off the tip of her finger.
