A Florida zoo where a toddler stumbled into a rhinoceros enclosure is suspending exhibits offering “premium” animal experiences while officials review safety protocol.
The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Fla., announced the suspension of the Rhino Encounters exhibit and similar displays in a statement Wednesday.
The 2-year-old girl was taken to a hospital for treatment Tuesday after she stumbled through steel poles separating the rhinos and spectators.
Officials at the zoo on Florida’s Space Coast say a rhino’s snout touched the girl before she was retrieved in a matter of seconds from the exhibit.
The girl’s father said in a statement Wednesday that his daughter is doing well.
