A male gorilla attacked and seriously injured a zookeeper at Madrid Zoo.
The 46-year-old suffered head trauma on Sunday, open fractures in both arms and various injuries to the torso said the zoo in the Spanish capital.
The experienced employee is being treated in the hospital and her health is serious.
According to the information, the woman was suddenly surprised by the 29-year-old male gorilla “Malabo” in the morning during routine work in the enclosure.
The zoo team intervened quickly, removed the approximately 200 kilograms silverback from the victim, and immobilized the animal with an anesthetic arrow.
“Malabo” is very popular with the keepers of the zoo, said a zoo spokeswoman for the TV channel “La Sexta”.
As to the cause of the incident, the zoo announced that security doors had been left open and that everything indicated a human error.

We expect Malabo’s immediate release.
It was a human error indeed, the arrest of the innocent Malabo 29 years ago and his life imprisonment.
This mistake needs to be corrected.
The only innocent man is Malabo, the prisoner of the Madrid Zoo.
We show solidarity with him
Regards and good night, Venus
