A small child was killed by giraffe. The incident took place on a playground in South Africa.
Launch BBC, Thursday (10/27/2022), a child died after being trampled by a giraffe in a protected area in South Africa. Meanwhile, his mother is hospitalized in critical condition.
The 16-month-old girl lives with her mother in the luxurious Kuleni Game Park in KwaZulu-Natal province. Police said the details were unclear, but they had opened an investigation to determine what had happened.
Giraffes don’t usually attack people. Because they are very common animals in hunting huts in South Africa.
“The baby was taken to the nearest doctor’s office where he died,” said police lieutenant Nqbile Madlala.
It is not clear where the large playground is. Because it was said that there were 14 huts when the accident occurred. A manager of one of the luxury accommodations was reluctant to speak and said the matter was very sensitive.
The park is located 16 kilometers from Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal, a province popular with local and international tourists.
On its website, the company says visitors can enjoy close encounters with the animals as they walk or cycle on various trails.
The giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world and is usually not aggressive. However, females can become aggressive by protecting their babies.
In 2018, the wife and son of the British scientist Sam William were trampled by giraffe females in the Blyde Wildlife Estate in South Africa. Both were admitted to a private hospital in Johannesburg and were able to recover.
