A woman and those around her were shocked at a zoo in Missouri. What started as a normal day turned into horror when they noticed a man walking around in the tiger enclosure!
TikTok user Mondoemma, Emma, was at the Saint Louis Zoo when she saw a man walking around inside the Big Cat Country enclosure—home to leopards, tigers, and ocelots.
As she records him, you can see him casually strolling along the enclosure before climbing a massive rock and up over some netting. It’s actually quite frightening how he easily escapes, considering there are tigers on the other side.
Emma continues, “Look, he just went to go hang out with the tigers.” Emma says they asked the man if he was okay. He told them he “worked there,” but she was almost positive he wasn’t a zoo employee. He’s dressed in regular clothes and strolls away as if nothing happened.
Viewers confirm the man was not an employee
Emma’s TikTok video went viral and reached the eyes of several zoo staff members. “I work here and dude does in fact NOT work there,” one commenter wrote. Another backed her up, adding that the man “does not, has not, and never will work here.”
Others said they were more concerned about how easily the man entered the enclosure. “Prolly just showed them how to get out 😂😂,” a commenter wrote. “That is also NOT his 1st time. He looks very comfortable scaling that,” another speculated.
However, viewers quickly pointed out that Emma’s video mostly shows the top of the enclosure, where the tigers cannot roam. And if the man did accidentally fall in, one TikTok user was unbothered, saying, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
While the man’s identity is not known at this time, a top comment on Emma’s video says they saw him being arrested. According to a report by Fox2Now, security apprehended him, then police arrested him.
