Shoalhaven Zoo on the New South Wales South Coast says two lions that attacked one of its zookeepers will not be euthanased.
The 35-year-old was cleaning the lion enclosure when the attack occurred.
"The lions involved in the incident will not be euthanased, and the care and welfare of all the zoo's animals remained a top priority.""We're staying in constant touch with our keeper Jen Brown and her family, and are enormously relieved to report that she is recovering from lacerations that she received when visiting the lions' den."
