In a shocking incident two years ago at a zoo in Uzbekistan, a disturbing video captured a young woman throwing her three-year-old daughter into the enclosure of a massive brown bear. The chilling footage, recorded at the zoo in the Uzbek capital Tashkent, shows the woman lifting the child into the air, placing her on the fence of the bear’s enclosure, and then pushing her into the five-meter-deep ditch where the bear resides.
On the local camera footage from the scene, viewers witness the horrifying moment as the bear, named Zuzu, reacts to the sudden intrusion. Zuzu rushed towards the fallen child, sniffing her before backing away. The swift actions of zookeepers managed to lure Zuzu away from the girl, who was then rescued and taken to safety. Despite the traumatic fall, the child survived with injuries and was immediately transported to the hospital for treatment of a head injury and cuts.
The mother was promptly arrested by Uzbekistan police on charges of attempted murder, as horrified visitors and staff watched helplessly. Witnesses recounted the terrifying scene, expressing their shock and dismay at the woman’s actions. The incident sparked outrage and concern, prompting authorities to take swift action against the perpetrator.
