Woman Enters Zoo's Lion Enclosure

A woman is lucky to be alive, but she's not welcome back at the Bronx Zoo after jumping into the lion enclosure.

The woman managed to climb over a barrier and enter the enclosure where she came face-to-face with the "King of the Jungle."

The woman appeared to dance and wave her arms, almost taunting the male lion.

Police say nobody called 9-1-1 to report this weekend's incident, but the zoo did file a complaint on Monday.

"Barriers and rules are in place to keep both visitors, staff and animals safe. We have a zero tolerance policy on trespass and violation of barriers," the zoo said.
