Zoos can be great places for people to observe animals.
Their exhibits strike a delicate balance between allowing them to see animals up close and unobstructed. Maintaining a distance is safe enough to protect both people and animals.
It is a bad idea to break these rules under any circumstances and go into an enclosure with an animal, even if it is in their opinion a “safe” animal …
This is exactly what the woman who jumped over the fence did, who came face to face with a lion.
The Bronx Zoo houses the African Lion Den. Visitors have the opportunity to see these majestic animals in a natural but exceptionally safe way.
This exhibit has low walls so if you get close enough you can see what’s going on. But not all people want these high fences in front of all the exhibits, they say that this deprives the zoo of pleasure.
But this woman was one visitor who took advantage of the low walls and, in a strange decision, jumped over the fence to enter the enclosure, exposing herself to the giant cats.
On September 28, she uploaded a video of her stunt to social media, apparently proud of her “fearless” stunt.
It’s funny, because in the video she says that the grown men were scared, and she was not, but there were also children …
You know, there’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and people were quick to point out that jumping into a lion’s den is clearly a terrible and not very smart idea.
