at the Shou Shan Zoo in Kaohsiung, when the elephant attacked her with the stone.

As a result of the attack, the woman suffered a cut to her face and a broken tooth. The tooth had to be replaced with an implant.

The zoo has agreed to pay Zhang’s medical bills.

A warning sign was installed outside the elephant enclosure after Zhang complained that the zoo did not taking the necessary precautions to prevent such accidents.
