BERLIN – Police say two male lions have attacked and seriously injured a keeper at a zoo in northern Germany.

Fellow keepers at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen noticed the attack and managed to get their 24-year-old colleague to safety.
The keeper, whose injuries weren’t life threatening, was flow to the hospital by helicopter.
