Dutch zookeeper dies after leopard attack at safari park

# A zookeeper has died after being mauled by a leopard at Beekse Bergen Safari Park in the Netherlands. The woman has worked at the park for nearly 40 years and was attacked while working in an indoor enclosure with two Persian leopards. She suffered serious head and neck injuries and died on Tuesday. The circumstances remain unclear, as there were no cameras inside the enclosure, but an independent investigation is underway. The park says the leopards will not be put down, as they were acting on their natural instincts.
