Last Saturday, a woman was attacked by a jaguar and left with minor injuries after stepping over the barrier at the United States’ Arizona Zoo.  

The woman crossed the barrier and approached the enclosure to take a selfie with the jaguar, but when she got too close, it swiped through the fencing, leaving deep gashes on her arms.

Wildlife World Zoo director Mickey Ollson said that the barriers are there for a good reason. He said the incident was a result of human error and the animal would not be euthanised.
