Crocodile enclosure where boy was seriously injured in attack reopens to public

Crocodiles in an enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst - (Reuters)

A crocodile enclosure at a zoo where a three-year-old boy was seriously injured in an attack by one of the reptiles has reopened to the public.

Johnsons of Old Hurst zoo in Huntingdon confirmed its "whole site will be fully open" from Saturday, just nine days after the child was hurt. A social media post on 27 June announced the full reopening, with a spokesperson later verifying that this included the crocodile attraction. The post stated: "Public announcement. As of this weekend, our whole site will be fully open, thank you."
