An attempt at taking a selfie at the zoo devolved into a dangerous situation for a woman in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday evening, according to zoo officials and emergency responders.
The visitor at the city's Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park allegedly crossed a barrier to snap a photo near a jaguar when the animal clawed her arm, causing injuries.
