The Post reported that police are searching for her so they could cite her for trespassing.
Her friends told the newspaper that they fear for her mental health after watching the videos of her and the lion.
That’s when he saw Autry inside the enclosure.
“But when I see ... she just was there, dancing, saying, ‘Hi,’ to the lion and everything and that was crazy,” Reynoso said, adding that the lion began to get agitated and roared. He grabbed his family and left.
However, due to the angle of the video, the woman may not have been in as much danger as previously thought. There is a large moat that separates the woman from the lion’s den, according to the local report.
But a woman who has known Autry for several years said she hopes she gets help.
“Myah please get help. I dont know. I don’t know what is wrong with you,” said Eunice Walton. “I feel sad because she is like like my child. She is with my daughter since high school.”
Zoo officials said the woman risked her life by going inside the enclosure.
Videos
On Instagram, she posted several videos of the incident.She added in another that “LITERALLY I HAVE THE SAME DIET AS A GIRAFFE.”
“Only People wasn’t scared was me and The Children. All the Adults was Scared,” she also wrote on social media.
In the video, the woman is seen staring down the lion inside its enclosure before making several dance moves.
“Hi, baby!” she yells at the lion. “Baby! I love you!”
According to the NY Daily News, the woman posted three Instagram videos of her entrance into the enclosure.
A man’s voice is then heard off-camera telling her: “You’re not supposed to do that. Go ahead and fall in there. See what happens.”
