- An 18-month-old child sustained minor injuries after putting their hand into a wolf enclosure at ZooAmerica, part of Hersheypark in Pennsylvania.
- The unsupervised toddler climbed under an exterior fence and then put their hand through the primary metal fence of the wolf habitat on Saturday, April 4.
- A wolf inside the enclosure made contact with the child's hand, which a spokesperson described as "consistent with natural animal behavior" and not aggression.
- Hershey Entertainment and Resorts stated that the child was never inside the wolf's enclosure and emphasized that guest safety and animal well-being are top priorities.
- The zoo reiterated that its habitats have multiple layers of protection and clear signage, expecting guests to remain in designated areas and supervise children closely.
