(CNN)A 2-year-old girl remains in the hospital a day after she was injured at a Florida zoo during a private rhino encounter experience, zoo officials and her family said. The toddler and her family were taking part Tuesday in a close-up experience with white rhinos at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida, when the girl came into contact with the animals. The family of three was given access to feel and brush the rhinos while supervised by two zookeepers in an area of the zoo where they were separated from the animals only by steel posts. The toddler wedged through the posts and got into the rhinos' yard, said Andrea Hill, the zoo's marketing and communications director.

Due to the over population of rhinos in Tijeras New Mexico I never leave the house without a Bond Arms derringer in .416 Rigby.

I didn’t see your pictures before I posted. I was describing it from memory, but it looks like I got it about right. That encounter was seriously cool. But you must respect the Rhino!

Remember when Sharon Stone’s hubby got bit by the Komodo dragon during a private tour? Maybe those tours aren’t the greatest idea.
