The firm added: "It should never have been written, it was never approved for use. The responsibility sits with us and we are urgently reviewing how our processes failed. "We recognise the hurt and distress it has caused, particularly for the young child's family at this unimaginably difficult time."The little boy was pulled from the crocodile enclosure by zoo staff and is now in a critical but stable condition at Addenbrooke's Hospital.Following the incident, a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and subsequently bailed because he was "unfit for interview".Police were called to the zoo at 13.24 BST on Thursday by the ambulance service and said the boy, who was not known to the man, had suffered serious injuries "while in the enclosure".
