Think about the tigers at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo and how big they are. Also, how much they would like to eat you.
A woman in Bridgeton, New Jersey wasn’t thinking about that at all the other day when she jumped over one barrier at the zoo there to get closer to the Bengal Tigers. There’s a second barrier, a mesh fence that she walked up to and poked her fingers through.
Meanwhile, the tiger is up close, trying to find a way through to take a bite. When she stuck her fingers through, he went for it, but luckily missed. When he did, she pulled her finger out and then pointed at the TIGER and said something as if she was scolding a pet. Bad kitty! No eating nana’s hand!
Obviously, I wouldn’t want anything terrible to happen to anyone at a zoo, no matter how dumb they act in situations like this. But, would it be so bad if she would have lost maybe……. Half a finger? You know, nothing that’s going to really cause problems in her life……..just as a reminder to think things through in the future. And maybe, to make it a little harder to climb fences.
Don’t answer that. Nope. We’re all glad that everything turned out okay. Police haven’t been able to track the gal down.
