A 16-month-old girl has died and her mother, 25, was seriously injured after being run over by a giraffe at a safari park in South Africa.
The British newspaper wrote that the mother must have worked as a guide in the garden Evening Standard.
The accident occurred at Kuleni Game Farm, which is about 30 miles northeast of Durban. Among other things, the park is known for its rich wildlife and a number of luxury lodges where you can stay during safari.
According to the Evening Standard, the giraffe may have attacked because it wanted to defend its calf. Giraffe attacks are very rare, although they are a common sight around safari lodges in South Africa.
– The girl was taken to the nearest doctor’s clinic where she died, says police spokesman Nikobeel Madlala. BBC.
Amazing find: – the largest in the world
The police have now launched an investigation to find out what really happened prior to the accident.
There are no predators living in the park, and companies that rent cabins there advertise that you can stay in safe areas.
The director of one of the park’s rental companies will not comment to the BBC about the incident, stating that the matter is “sensitive”.
