Shortened version with context preserved:

Oleg Zubkov, 57, famed lion handler and owner of Taigan Safari Park in Russian-occupied Crimea, is in critical condition after being mauled by the same lion that killed a park employee in 2024.

Known as the “lion whisperer,” Zubkov suffered severe head, neck, and lung injuries during feeding time. He underwent emergency surgery and remains in critical condition.

The park, home to around 60 African lions, has faced scrutiny after multiple safety incidents, including the death of employee Leokadiya Perevalova, whom Zubkov said made a “fatal error” by leaving a gate open.

The same lion attacked Zubkov on June 22. Witnesses described chaos as the lion dragged him by the neck. Park worker Tatyana Aleksagina bravely intervened, distracting the lion with a bucket. A visitor, Alexei, helped carry Zubkov to a buggy.

Zubkov was rushed to the hospital unconscious. A park source said doctors are doing all they can to save him, calling it a devastating shock.
