Wildlife World Zoo officials told social media users the jaguar wont be put down after a woman in her 30s suffered injuries to her arm following the Saturday incident.
The woman jumped a barrier at the Litchfield Park zoo and reached out to take a selfie when the big cat dug her claws into the visitors hand. ..."
Adam Wilkerson, who was at the zoo on Saturday, told FOX10 he heard the woman scream for help.
"I hear this young girl screaming, 'Help, help, help,' and without thinking, I just run over there.
I see another girl with her up against the cage of the jaguar and the jaguar has clasped its claws outside of the cage around her hand and into her flesh," Wilkerson told the news station.
Wilkerson said his mother threw a water bottle into the cage to distract the jaguar just enough for her to let go of the womans arm.
"The jaguar lets go of the girl somewhat because the claw catches on just her sweater. At that moment, I grabbed the girl around the torso and pulled her away from the cage and it unlatches from her claw, he recalled.
The jaguar just goes after the bottle.
Wilkerson took video showing the woman on the ground with a gash on her arm screaming in agony. Several people were seen attempting to help her as they waited for help.

“Whats with this selfie craze?”
Hers was more like a “self-inflictie” with herself as being the “inflictee”.
maybe she should be euthanized.
Stupid should hurt.
Those comments are NOT kind.
But they are funny.
The woman is an idiot raised on cartoons with friendly animals cavorting about. What a moron.
Stupid idiot. She deserves what she got. Just glad the jaguar wont be euthanized.
Good Kitty!
Selfies are for the selfish.
Thats a nasty cut but man is she flat freaking out
A different reaction per person I reckon
Very happy to hear this. Just a kitty being a kitty.
And the woman being a moron.
That might be the most beautiful car to ever roll down the road. If it’s not the outright winner, it is certainly a strong candidate.
Jaguars were hunted out of South America 60 years ago because they took too many beef steers. A full grown steer is a meal to them. They are not pets.

Was this in Florida by any chance?
Help evolution, euthanize the woman.

OF COURSE not pets. But a feline being a feline, attacking anything that moves. My cat does that too.

The jaguar really attacked because it saw she was shooting the video vertically.
