(CNN) A seven-year-old Moroccan girl has died after a zoo elephant threw a rock at her. The park management said the girl had been hit after the female elephant threw the rock out of its enclosure. The girl had been in the visitors' area with her family, looking at the elephant and trying to take a picture. The Rabat zoo does not use a metal fence to separate the animals from the visitors but has a huge ditch and wooden fence. Zoo managers sent their condolences to the girl's family and said in the statement that the zoo meets the required international safety standards.
