A woman keeper at Blackpool Zoo spent three days in hospital after being attacked by an ape at the attraction.
The staff member was in the corridor at the ape house when a 24-year-old orang-utan called Vicky launched into the attack.
She bit the keeper on her arm and foot, and an ambulance took her from the East Park Drive attraction to Victoria Hospital on Friday, where she underwent emergency surgery.
The injured woman is now recovering at home.
