In a frightening move, a US woman jumped into a Bengal tiger enclosure at the Cohanzick Zoo in New Jersey on Sunday and nearly got bitten the wild cat. As the tiger moved inches before her, the woman poked her fingers through the inner fencing. The tiger almost injured the woman as she was leaving the enclosure. (Unsplash) The Bridgeton Police Department confirmed the incident on their Facebook page and also showed a video of the woman dangerously close to the tiger. Later, the department deleted the video. However, that time, the clip had already made its way to various social media platforms. Fox reporter Steve Keeley posted the video on his X page. The clip shows the woman, wearing a dark top and white shorts, right next to the tiger. She could be seen trying to poke it with her hand. The tiger swatted and attempted to bite at the woman’s hand before she climbed back over the wooden barrier to leave the enclosure. According to the original police department post about the incident, she was nearly injured. (Also Read: Tiger’s ferocious roars while moving towards safari vehicle shock people.
