Graphic Video: Girl Dies After Elephant Hurls Stone at Her
In the most heart-breaking
development, a 7-year-old child lost her life after an elephant hurled a huge
stone at her head in a zoo.
According to Daily
Mail, the unnamed girl and her parents visited the Moroccan zoo in the
capital, Rabat. Her father lifted her on his shoulder, with their backs facing
the animal, so that the girl’s mother could take a photo of them with the
elephant in the background. At that instance, while they smiled for the camera,
the elephant flung a huge rock and it caught the girl on the back of her head.
Knocked
unconscious, the child lay dying while the officials ran around for medical
help. The girl later died in a hospital nearby.

From the footage
shared on social media by an eye witness, the huge stone could be seen as a staff
and the parents struggled to contain the child’s bleeding.

Speaking with
the press, the zoo spokesman said, “Accidents of this type are rare,
unforeseeable and unusual. Accidents of this nature happened in
international zoos, most recently in Disney World Orlando and the Cincinnati
Zoo in the United States."
