French lady critically injured in Wolf attack

PARIS:

Police and prosecutors were on Sunday investigating how a 37-year-old women came to be attacked and seriously injured by three wolves in a zoo outside Paris.

The woman was bitten “on the neck, the calf and the back” at the Thoiry zoo around 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of the French capital, a source close to the case told AFP.

Maryvonne Caillibotte, chief prosecutor in Versailles, said earlier that the woman’s life was in danger. Later Sunday, a source told AFP that her injuries were no longer life-threatening.

The woman is believed to have gone out alone for a jog after spending the night with her family in a safari-style lodge at the zoo, which it advertised on its website at between 220 and 760 euros ($235-810) per night.
