An African-American woman was lucky to avoid injury after wandering into a New York City zoo enclosure and teasing a lion on Sept. 28.

A viral video posted on social media shows the female making dance moves within what appears to be pouncing distance of a fully grown lion at the Bronx Zoo, 14 miles northeast of downtown Manhattan.
