ST. LOUIS - Zoo officials in St. Louis say a young girl fell into a bear exhibit and received a minor head injury.
Zoo spokesman Wyndel Hill says the child is between the ages of 3 and 5. She had visited the zoo with her mother Wednesday, climbed on a rail and fell over into the exhibit.
Hill says neither of the two bears could have come in contact with the girl because of several security measures. They include a 6-foot-deep moat and a wall between the bears and the child.
The zoo plans to review security.
In 2004, one of the sun bears wounded a keeper in a separate part of the exhibit away from public view.
