A mum has been arrested after a tot was hurled 16ft into a brown bear's cage at a zoo.
Keepers and witnesses looked on in horror as the huge animal went over to investigate the child - but miraculously did not attack her.
The bear, named Zuzu and who is currently a resident at the zoo in Uzbekistan, went up close and sniffed the little girl but then proceeded to wander away, and was quickly enticed to another part of the cage so staff could rescue the child, said onlookers.

Witnesses had attempted to stop her from throwing the child into the enclosure, a spokesman for the zoo said.
He stated: “A young woman threw a little girl down into a brown bear’s enclosure, in front of all the visitors.
“It was completely unclear what her motive was.

She said: "We are scared to even think how this would end if the bear were to react at the toddler as its prey.
“Zuzu, a male Caucasian Brown Bear was watching the woman, who threw the little one over a metal fence.
“She fell into a trench under the fence.
“Zuzu got slowly stood up, slowly got down the trench, walked towards the girl, sniffed her - and walked back.”
The mother - unnamed - has been detained and faces a minimum of 15 years in prison, say reports.

She was also suffering “light shock”.
A picture showed her at the Republican Centre for Emergency Medicine in Tashkent.
