A Spanish zookeeper died after an elephant, who was protecting her calf, hit him with her trunk yesterday morning. The force of the blow caused the zookeeper s head to get smashed against the iron bars of the pen. Colleagues rushed the victim to the hospital but he succumbed to his injuries three hours after the incident.
The zookeeper, 44-year-old Joaquin Gutierrez Arnaiz, has worked in the facility since 2002. Francisco Javier Lopez Marcano, a regional tourism and industry councilor, told The Sun that Gutierrez is one of the facility s veteran elephant keepers. He expressed shock at the incident, adding that the young and popular keeper s sudden demise caused great pain to his family and colleagues. He was a great lover of elephants and his work, Lopez said.
