In a shocking and daring case, a woman climbed into a lion enclosure and taunted the huge animal at a zoo in New York. By doing this, the woman put herself “in serious danger”.
This incident came to light after a video was posted on social media where a lion can be seen staring at the woman who jumped into the cage.
The woman does not seem to be frightened of the animal at all in the video. Meanwhile, onlookers can be seen shouting at the woman to come out.
According to The Independent, it is not clear how the woman entered the lion enclosure or why she decided to do so. Thankfully, neither the woman nor the lion were injured.
"But when I see ... she just was there, dancing, saying, ‘Hi,’ to the lion and everything and that was crazy,” Reynoso an eyewitness said. “It’s not a good example, especially for the kids,” Reynoso added.
Hours after the incident, the zoo management in a statement said, "this action was a serious violation and unlawful trespass that could have resulted in serious injury or death. Barriers and rules are in place to keep both visitors, staff and animals safe. We have a zero tolerance policy on trespass and violation of barriers.”
