A German model was mauled by a leopard during a photoshoot — leaving her unconscious and with large gashes on her face and head, according to reports Thursday.
Jessica Leidolph, 36, was posing for shots inside an animal enclosure at a center for retired showbiz animals in Nebra Tuesday when the 16-year-old leopard, Troja, sunk its teeth into her head, according to the German newspaper Bild.
“It repeatedly kept biting my cheek, ear and head,” she told the outlet, according to the UK Sun.

Poor thing...I’m craving a milk shake suddenly
Maybe the leopard got spooked by all the face metal.
inside the enclosure ??
Here’s your sign.
Maybe the leopard wasn’t going to get his cut for the photoshoot.

yeah me too. If she ever has a kid, breast feeding time would be an amazing thing to witness.
Probably so. Or she was bleeding a bit from one.
That’s no model.. That is a pincushion.
I worked in Germany in the mid-90s and this model was on magazine covers back then. I don’t remember which magazines but I saw them mainly in the gas stations. She must’ve been very young because it was 25 years ago. I’m sorry to hear about her being attacked like that. Get well soon.
they are DANGEROUS Wild Animals
anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool
The leopard heard about a certain chimpanzee in Belgium and thought this was his moment to ride his spots off.
These are wild animals kept in cages for a reason. And 16 years old maybe old for a large cat. Probly old and pissed.
For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would consider face metal attractive.
What if you’re a female trying to beguile a scrap metal yard owner as your future husband? :)
Hell…she had already mauled herself…insanity…
Being a model does not mean what it used to.
Looks like they used pop rivets to repair the damage to her face.
wonder what else is pierced...
Given that lions and leopards are pretty equal...dangerousness-wise...I sincerely doubt that a billion dollars would have motivated me to do what this woman did.
