A male zookeeper was attacked by a Zebra on Wednesday in Southern China, leaving the zookeeper with several minor injuries. This is a second animal attack in less than a one week after a brutal tiger attack left one man dead in eastern Chinese city of Ningbo.

The zebra attack took place at the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou city, capital of the Guangdong province.

As is seen in the video footage, which has already gone viral, a raging Zebra is shown clutching the man's hand and dragging him through the zoo's enclosure. The zoo's other workers are seen running behind the Zebra as they tried to free the victim, with footage video clearly showing one man carrying a huge stick.

The attack lasted for reportedly 10 minutes, with victim suffering serious on his hand. It is still not clear what prompted the Zebra to attack the zoo keeper.

The zoo officials are yet to release any official statement on the attack, while it is still not known whether the victim is receiving any medical treatment for his injuries.

The vicious attack took place barely days after a tiger brutally killed a visitor at Youngor Wildlife Park in Ningbo city. The attack caused a huge uproar across China, as this was the second tiger attack in less than six months. Last year, in July a 57-year-old woman was mauled down to death while trying to rescue her daughter in a wildlife park in Beijing.

The spate of animal attacks has raised concerns about treatment of animals in the zoo. Globally, thousands of animal right activists are waging a campaign to urge mankind for treating animals with more respect.
