Hands on...

A child was injured after falling into a rhino exhibit at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.
The toddler, 2 years old, and the mother were taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital For Children, Brevard County Fire Rescue said.

The child fell during the "Rhino Encounter," a "hands-on, educational experience with Brevard Zoo’s white rhinoceroses," Brevard Zoo said, adding that the program has been operating since 2009 without incident.
"During the encounter, participants and the rhinoceroses are separated by a series of steel poles."

 According to witnesses, the child stumbled and fell in between two of the poles and at this point, the snout of at least one of rhinoceroses made contact with the child." Holy rhinoceros.
