Watch This Video Of A Woman Foolishly Antagonising A Tiger At Toronto Zoo

Some people don’t seem to have an awful lot of common sense. There is no better example than the woman in this video who goes to extreme lengths to retrieve her hat. Visitors at the tiger exhibit of Toronto Zoo looked on in horror as the woman in question leaped over the fence of the tiger pen in order to reclaim her hat. The YouTube video shows the woman jumping the fence as the tiger paces back and forth and tries to jump towards her. Fortunately for her, the tiger was behind a second protective fence, nevertheless, it was a really silly thing to do.

Bad idea

Someone can be heard in the background saying “worst idea ever” and another onlooker started yelling at the woman, calling her a moron. The zoo has launched an investigation into the incident and a spokesperson told news outlets that the woman “could have easily injured herself”. This kind of behaviour is extremely provocative and agitates the animal. The zoo for its part said whenever someone drops their belongings into an enclosure, they should make staff aware and ask them to retrieve the item in a safe manner.
