A woman climbed barrier of jaguar exhibit to get a better picture with the wildcat at an Arizona zoo. The woman later apologized for bringing the zoo bad press, but not before suffering greatly herself.

A jaguar really didn't want to be part of a lady's social media post.


A visitor to the Wildlife World Zoo crossed a barrier to take a photo with the zoo's Jaguar. The Jaguar grabbed the woman. A man nearby shoved a water bottle into the enclosure to stop the attack, but not before a brief mauling. The results are painful and hard to watch.



The woman was very remorseful and apologized to the zoo.



The zoo announced that the jaguar would not be euthanized–


–all was well back at the zoo, but folks online still got in their jabs.
