Deadly elephant

-

A 7-year-old girl died on Wednesday from injuries she sustained when an elephant threw a stone out of its enclosure and struck her on the head at Rabat Zoo in Morocco. Cellphone video taken moments after the incident shows the rock that allegedly hit the girl and a group of bystanders huddled near her, tending to her injuries while waiting for an ambulance. A statement released by Rabat Zoo denied responsibi­lity for the young girl’s death, and said the elephant enclosure met all internatio­nal standards. The zoo offered its condolence­s to the girl’s family.
