Woman climbs inside lion exhibit at Bronx

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — A woman visiting the Bronx Zoo last weekend got up close and personal with a lion.  She climbed over a safety barrier and got into the big cat’s exhibit.

She thought it would be a good idea to taunt the lion by waving at it and doing some strange dance.

The lion stared at the woman for a long time then growled at her but didn’t attack.

Video posted online shows that she didn’t seem to have a “mane” concern about being the lion’s lunch. Perhaps she has a problem free philosophy and was singing “Hakuna Matata”?

Even though the woman was not hurt but she could be a in a lot of trouble.

The zoo says this was a “serious violation and unlawful trespass” and that they have a “zero tolerance policy on trespass and violation of barriers.

The woman’s name or her reason for getting into the exhibit haven’t been released.
