A woman in Australia lost her arm over the weekend when she was attacked by a lion at a zoo. The incident occurred at the Darling Downs Zoo in Queensland, where a 50-year-old woman was observing animal keepers in the carnivore precinct on July 6. Despite being familiar with safety protocols around dangerous animals, the woman was unexpectedly attacked by the lion, resulting in severe arm injuries. The zoo clarified that the lion did not escape its enclosure, and there was no danger to other staff or visitors. The woman was airlifted to a hospital in Brisbane and underwent surgery, and is now in stable condition. The zoo described her as a cherished member of their community and assured that the lioness involved will not face any repercussions. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the attack. The zoo has reopened, and authorities are collaborating to gather more information about the incident.
