A three year old boy fell into the Jaguar pit at the Little Rock Zoo in Little
Rock, Arkansas on 10/10/2014 Friday morning. The child was at the Little Rock
Zoo when he fell into the enclosure at around 10:45am when his family member
was holding the child on the railing.
When zoo personnel arrived they entered the exhibit and
used fire extinguishers to keep the jaguars at bay until the rescue was
completed, according to police.
The child was seized at the neck by one of two Jaguars
and at the foot by the second cat after falling 15 feet (4.5 meters) into the
enclosure at the Little Rock Zoo, his father and grandfather, who were with him
when it happened, told Little Rock police.
The boy suffered extensive scalp lacerations, a depressed
skull fracture and several puncture wounds, the police report quoted a doctor
at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
