THURMONT, Md., - January 18, 2009 Frederick County Animal Control director Harold Domer says the
300-pound jaguar attacked the woman while she was inside an
enclosure on Sunday. Domer says she hadn't secured the area.
The woman was bitten several times and flown to a Baltimore
hospital, where she was in critical condition. The Catoctin
Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont, about an hour outside
Baltimore, says the two jaguars in the enclosure at the time have
been quarantined.
Domer says he plans to meet with the executive director of the
preserve to discuss the incident.
