Police are looking for a woman who climbed over a barrier surrounding a tiger enclosure at a zoo in New Jersey before she approached the big cats and put a hand through a metal fence, narrowly avoiding being bitten.
Bridgeton police said they wanted to speak to the woman after video of her inside the enclosure at Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton emerged. The police department released the video Tuesday; it is unclear when the incident took place.
“A female at the Cohanzick Zoo went over the wooden fence at the tiger enclosure and began enticing the tiger almost getting bit by putting her hand through the wire enclosure,” police said in a statement on Facebook. “We are asking if anyone recognizes the female in the video/photo.”
The tiger wasn’t interested in her. The vet advised him to avoid trash food.
