On 13 May 2023, a family of three entered a lion enclosure to take a selfie with one of the lions. The keeper of the lion, who was a relative of the family, told them that the lion wasn’t aggressive and that they could take a selfie with the animal. The lion clawed the child’s scalp resulting with the child getting injured having the child need to get stitches. After ten days of treatment the child was discharged.
Here’s the news in Turkish:
Antalya’da hayvanat bahçesinde dehşet! Selfie için kafese giren aileye aslan saldırdı - Son dakika haberleri – Sözcü
This did not happen at the Antalya Municipal Zoo which has a gallery here in ZooChat. It happened in an attraction named Discovery Park which is from another town. Needless to say it doesn’t look like a pleasant place at all.
