A drunk man tried to 'shake hands' with a lion at the zoo

A lot of people have done crazy stuff while under the influence of alcohol... But it's not often that people wake up having tried to 'shake hands with a lion' the night before.

A 35-year-old man, who had a few too many drinks, climbed into an actual lion's den at a zoo, reportedly in an attempt to shake "hands" with a king of the jungle.

The man, seems relatively calm in the video, shot in May 2016, and amazingly got away without any injuries thanks to the staff at Hyderabad Zoo in India

According to the Indian Express, the man wished to 'shake hands' with the lion.

Zoo officials told the outlet that: “After preliminary enquiry it was found that Mukesh was in an inebriated state and had jumped inside the enclosure to go near the lion. He has been handed over to Bahadurpura Police."
