A lion attack occurred at the Darling Downs Zoo in Australia, where a woman was mauled while observing zookeepers before the zoo opened to the public. Surveillance footage shows the lion leaping over a wall and chasing the woman carrying groceries. The victim, identified as Kate Stephenson, lost her arm in the incident. Authorities arrested the owners of the lion after footage revealed they watched as the animal attacked the woman and two young children. This attack follows another lion-related incident in Turkey, where a farmer was injured by an escaped lion but is not in life-threatening condition. The Turkish victim's family expressed concern over the animal's previous escape and lack of warnings. Both incidents highlight safety concerns regarding lion containment and public warnings.
