A 2 - year - old Yemeni girl has had her left hand amputated after being bitten by a lion during her family visit to the zoo in lbb governorate in Yemen 🇾🇪, local media reported .
According to Al - Arabiya Al Hadath , the toddler identified simply as Donia put her hand into the lion's cage when the animal bit it off .
The girl was accompanied by her father who was busy clicking pictures of her next to the lion . The girl and her father , who went into a coma after watching his daughter's hand in the lion's mouth , were taken to a hospital . Human rights advocates held the child's father and the administration of the zoo , which is under the control of the Al Houthi militia , accountable for the tragedy .
They also decried the administration's disregard for visitors by placing iron nets , which are inappropriate for these predators , or failing to ensure a sufficient safety distance that prevent visitors and children from getting closer to these animals .
