Woman in intensive care after being attacked by wolves while jogging in a safari park near Paris

A woman is reportedly in intensive care after being attacked by wolves while jogging at a safari park outside Paris.

The 36-year-old was reportedly in an enclosure at the Thoiry Zoo in Yvelines, France, with her baby and mother when she was attacked while jogging at around 9 a.m. on Sunday, the newspaper Le Parisien reports.

The news agency said she was in the park’s safari zone, which is closed to pedestrians and only accessible to motorists.

The woman reportedly suffered bite wounds to her neck, calf and back and had to be rescued by nurses who were alerted by her screams.

Christelle Bercheny, President of Wow Safari Thoiry, gave a press conference on Sunday afternoon.

She said the woman had entered the “American reservation” where gray wolves, coyotes, bison and bears live, Le Parisien reported. An internal investigation is reportedly underway and police are also said to be investigating.
