Fox News
A 4-year-old cheetah attacked a zookeeper at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Thursday morning.
"At this time, Isabelle’s care team had her sit and she was calm and purring," officials from the zoo explained in a statement. "When the keeper approached them, Isabelle crouched down and lunged toward the Heart of Africa keeper, who works around giraffes and other hoofstock." "We believe that, due to normal animal behavior, the scent of these other animals on the keeper triggered a natural instinct in Isabelle, who reacted."More Related News
