This incident is an example of why you don't f with cats.

Of course, the stupidity of the zoo visitor was caught on video. Like, hello?! Did she think no one was watching.

Woman Climbs into Tiger Pen at Zoo in Bridgeton, NJ

On Tuesday, the female trespasser, ignoring a 'do not enter' sign, reportedly climbed over the wooden separator of Cohanzick Zoo's tiger pen, where the attraction's two 500 lb. Bengals (Mahesha and Rishi) reside.

She then allegedly reached her hand through a wire fence and attempting to engage one of the big cats.

Not only was her illegal entry captured by a surveillance camera, her experiment of 'enticing' the tiger, Patch.com reports, resulted in her nearly being bitten by the animal.

Unfortunately, the witless woman has caught the attention of zoo officials and local authorities rather than the tiger.
