A woman was reportedly attacked by wolves while jogging at the zoo

(Gray News) – A woman visiting a French safari park and zoo was reportedly attacked by several wolves over the weekend.

According to several reports, a 37-year-old Parisian woman was visiting the Thoiry Zoo Safari in France when she decided to go jogging after spending the night at the lodge.

But on Sunday morning the woman accidentally entered a safari zone that is normally only accessible by car.

French news channels, including TF1, reported that the area had open spaces where animals, wolves and bears roamed freely.

TFI reports that the wolves “ambushed” the woman as she ran and was about 300 feet outside the cabin.

The woman, whose name was not immediately released, suffered “serious” injuries and was bitten on the neck, calf and back.

“Fortunately, the medical staff intervened very quickly and we were able to save this person,” CNN quoted zoo executive director Christelle Bercheny as saying at a press conference.

Bercheny added that appropriate signs were posted at the zoo and noted that the animals may not be used to seeing people.

The condition of the injured woman has now been stabilized in the hospital.

Zoo officials said their team had launched an investigation.
