<p>What's more shocking is the fact that the woman is also seen making funny faces and gestures to the lion, who appears to be astonished by the visit of an unexpected guest in his territory. According to eyewitnesses, the woman didn't stop there and even tried taunting the mighty lion for a while. But to her luck, she wasn't attacked by the animal as the lion just stood there.</p>
<p>Post the video going viral, netizens took to the comments section of the post to express their shock and astonishment over the woman's actions. Few netizens even called the woman an 'idiot' for risking her life.&nbsp;One user wrote, "What an ignorant person. They would've shot the lion to save her dumb a**. I'm glad the lion survived this idiot human behaviour." While another user said, "The lion is quite confused. Should I run or attack."</p>
<p>Later, the New York-based&nbsp;<span>Bronx zoo released an official statement condemning the woman's action and said that such serious violation could have resulted in an injury or death. Here's what the statement said:&nbsp;<span>This action was a serious violation and unlawful trespass that could have resulted in serious injury or death. 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.</span></span></p>
