Woman Enters Exhibit, Elephant Smacks Her

WACO, Texas - A 25-year-old woman climbed past barriers and into an elephant‘s zoo exhibit, then crawled out with minor injuries after the 6,000-pound animal smacked her with its trunk.

After saying she wanted to play with the elephant, the woman climbed over a 3-feet-high wood-and-wire fence, scaled an 8-foot-tall artificial rock structure and bypassed an electric wire before jumping into the exhibit Thursday afternoon, Fleshman said. A moat extends around most of the exhibit.
