A zoo in Gunma. A female zookeeper is bitten and seriously injured by a tapir.

According to Gunma Safari Park, at around 12:30 pm on the 20th, a 21-year-old female zookeeper was brushing a tapir's body by herself when she was suddenly bitten by the tapir.
The zookeeper was bitten in two places on her right arm, suffering serious injuries including a broken bone.
The tapir that bit her was a female, approximately 180 cm long and weighing approximately 400 kg.
According to the Safari Park, it is believed that the zookeeper mistakenly bit the zookeeper, thinking that a child had approached her and interrupted her brushing.
