The attack took place in the big cat's enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park near Phoenix, Arizona at approximately 6.40pm on Saturday.

Shawn Gilleland, spokesman for the Rural Metro Fire Department, told the Washington Post that her injuries were not life-threatening.

The zoo confirmed that "at no time was the animal out of its enclosure", asking visitors to "please understand why barriers are put in place".
Paramedics were called "at the request of the family" to treat the unidentified woman, who is in her 30s.
