Woman climbs into lion's den at the Bronx Zoo

[VandVsmama]

That woman is a stupid moron.

The local news here mentioned there is a little moat between them.

There’s a deep trench that isn’t seen in the video; the woman is standing right at the edge. She posted other video of herself on Instagram, showing her climbing over the fence, and she brags about being fearless.

Such a stupid and irresponsible thing to do.

My first thought was, "Is she high?" What an idiot. Very glad the lion just stared at her and nothing happened to him. I hope they catch her.

Haha. I thought social media was involved somehow.

Semi-UPDATE:

The Bronx Zoo has now filed a criminal trespass complaint so the NYPD have now doubled their efforts to look for the woman.

The NYC ABC news are still saying there's a moat there. (Deep trench filled with water.)

She was probably high.

As Rick James once said, "Cocaine is a helluva drug".

And then the people filming and all around are just chatting like nothing is going on? Seriously, I would have been yelling at her to get her patootie out of there. Or at least yelling for a zookeeper etc.

I'd have told her to jump in that pit between her and the lion and rid humanity of her stupidity. A 2 by 4. A 2 by 4. My kingdom for a 2 by 4.

My thought is that maybe she is either high or mentally ill. Either way, if that is the case, I hope she gets the help she needs. That could have gone very badly.

I was also surprised people were just chatting away. I would have been hollering for a zookeeper.

I never rooted for a Lion more.

 

[luvsJack]

Sorry, I couldn't do anything but laugh at the look on the lion! He seemed so confused by what this woman was doing!

My first thought was she must be high or mentally ill. But you know, some people are just that incredibly dense. They think they can do whatever they want and the rest of society and the animal kingdom be darned and sadly most of the stuff they do is just stupid and dangerous.

I heard about this on the radio this morning. All kinds of crazy!

I just looked at her Instagram. She def looks like she's getting high at the entrance to the Bronx Zoo in one of her posts!

ETA: There is another post on there that looks like she's in the giraffe enclosure!!!

Lion should have ate her

The lion was smart. He didn't want food poisoning.

 

[RangerPooh]

That's clearly a WT(bleep) moment. Clearly she was not born with common sense.

Assuming social media is involved in some capacity because idiots seek out their 15 minutes of fame. Which if that's the case shouldn't be too hard to locate her.

 

[starwart]

The Lion must have reminded her of O’Hanna and then the lion said “I’m not touching that...Ever!”

 

[Miffy]

I'm a frequent visitor to the Bronx Zoo. There is indeed a moat there, and from looking at the video, I'm pretty sure the moat is between her and the lion. Nevertheless, WT&@#$ was she thinking?

If fearless is the same as frigging idiot, then yes!
