Zookeepers fend off Jaguar after boy falls into exhibit - Polidicks

[QUOTE] Zookeepers used fire extinguishers to ward off two jaguars after a 3-year-old boy fell into their pit at the Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas. The boy was standing on a railing Friday morning when he fell into the pit, which is about 15 to 16 feet deep, according to the Little Rock Police Department. "We have a child who has fallen into the jaguar exhibit," a caller told an emergency dispatcher. "We need an ambulance." The boy's father ran for help as the two jaguars approached his son, police said. When he returned, witnesses told police that one jaguar had the boy’s shirt collar in his mouth and the other had latched on to his foot.

How the fuck do you manage to do such stupid shit and place a toddler on a rail directly in front of Jaguars?

Where are the parents? Hero zookeeper though. Wonder if they rehearse jaguar attack protocol

Why would you put a child on the railing. What the fuck are you doing. Good thing it turned out for the best.

Ouch, sounds the kid was pretty badly hurt. First off he fell into the pit, and then it would seem that the jaguars got a bit of taste of him. Also really glad that those zookeepers were quick enough about their business. It may not be the usual practice to fend jaguars off with fire extinguishers, but it was probably the best course of action available. Props to the zookeepers.

[QUOTE=Aide;46207484]Why would you put a child on the railing. What the fuck are you doing. Good thing it turned out for the best.[/QUOTE] I assume that the enclosure is from a height, and people view the animals from above. Like the ones here, we have them like several meters up, and have this kind of fencing: [img]http://cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/xin_36211051319520151807417.jpg[/img] or this kind [IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-341UinSvvjI/TgIXuY-qq0I/AAAAAAAAAKI/sEYJhSMpSJ0/s1600/Polar%2BShores%2BRailing.jpg[/IMG] So sometimes, I do see parents trying to raise their kid higher for a better view/chance to spot the animal. Dangerous act, but this could be a possibility.

That's some Tarzan shit right there

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;46207707]That's some Tarzan shit right there[/QUOTE] Wait, when did tarzan use a fire extinguisher?

They used fire extinguishers, which explains why they were able to fend the jaguars off. Still ballsy as fuck, but the initial image I had in mind was of them vaulting over the fence, screaming bloody murder and dropkicking the cats.
