A daring woman recently made headlines after a video of her entering a tiger enclosure at Cohanzick Zoo in New Jersey and taunting the big cat went viral. The wild encounter was captured on video and released by the Bridgeton Police Department on Tuesday, leaving viewers stunned and outraged.
In the video, the woman fearlessly enters the enclosure and gets down on her knees in front of the pacing tiger. As the predator attempts to bite her, she quickly pulls her hand away in the nick of time. The woman then calmly exits through a netted door, but not before stopping to pose as if she's being photographed. She then jumps over a wooden barrier and back into the public space.
According to the police department's Facebook post, the woman had climbed over the fence and was enticing the tiger by putting her hand through the wire enclosure. They are now seeking the public's help in identifying her. However, as of Thursday afternoon, the offender had not been identified.
The video, which has been shared on social media, shows a tiger lying down in the background behind a wooden fence with a sign that reads "DO NOT CLIMB OVER THE FENCE" and "24-hour surveillance." The police department also reminded visitors that climbing zoo fences is prohibited and is considered a violation of city ordinance.
The incident has sparked a lot of reactions on social media, with many expressing their shock and concern for the woman's safety. Some even mentioned the popular song "Dumb Ways to Die," highlighting the dangerous and reckless behavior displayed in the video.
This is not the first time someone has had a deliberate encounter with a wild cat at a zoo in the US. In 2019, a woman climbed into a lion enclosure at the Bronx Zoo in New York and appeared to taunt the beast just a few feet away. Miraculously, she escaped unscathed. However, these incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of following safety guidelines and respecting the boundaries of wild animals. Let's hope this woman is identified and held accountable for her reckless actions.
