A tragic incident occurred in a wildlife park in South Africa: a 16-month-old girl was trampled to death by a giraffe. The girl was taken to a nearby doctor's office and succumbed to her injuries there. The animal also seriously injured the mother. She had been taken to a hospital and was in mortal danger. The police initiated investigations.

The Kuleni Wildlife Park is located 270 kilometers northeast of the port city of Durban. The incident is unusual as giraffes do not typically attack humans. Families can go on a nature holiday in the wildlife park.
