The 18-month-old apparently stuck its hand through the metal fence and made contact with a wolf inside the enclosure. The toddler is recovering from minor injuries.
HERSHEY, Pa. — An 18-month-old child crawled under the exterior perimeter fence of a wolf enclosure at ZooAmerica at Hersheypark.
The child got under the exterior fence and proceeded to crawl to the primary metal enclosure surrounding the wolf’s habitat, according to a Hershey Entertainment & Resorts spokesperson.
The child then stuck their hand through the metal fence, and a wolf inside the enclosure made contact with the child. According to Hershey, the wolf’s reaction was “consistent with natural animal behavior and was not a sign of aggression.”
Hershey said the child suffered minor injuries from the incident.
In their statement to FOX43, Hershey said the safety of its guests and animals is their top priority and that habitats are designed to ensure safety.
“We are aware of an incident involving a young child at ZooAmerica the morning of Saturday, April 4, and are relieved that the child’s injuries were minor.
“Based on our review, an unsupervised 18-month old child was able to crawl under an exterior perimeter fence, travel to the primary metal enclosure surrounding the wolf habitat, and put his hand through that fence. A wolf approached and made contact with the child’s hand. This type of response is consistent with natural animal behavior, and was not a sign of aggression. The child was never inside the wolf’s enclosure.”
