Officials say the woman was taken by ambulance on Monday from Dreamworld in Queensland state to the Gold Coast University Hospital in stable condition. The Queensland Ambulance Service says the 47-year-old woman sustained “serious lacerations and puncture wounds.” Dreamworld says it has nine Sumatran and Bengal tigers at its Tiger Island exhibit.
