Chimpanzees at a sanctuary in South Africa have left a man seriously injured with bite wounds after pulling him into their enclosure.

The man, an American researcher, was leading a tour group at the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden yesterday.

Two chimpanzees grabbed his feet and pulled him under a fence into their enclosure, said Jeffrey Wicks of the Netcare911 medical emergency services company.

The man had “multiple and severe bite wounds” and was dragged nearly a kilometer (1,100 yards) by the chimpanzees.

Mediclinic Nelspruit, the hospital where he was taken, said he was in intensive care in critical condition after undergoing surgery.

Fear the chimp attack.
