The video captured moment a lion bite off the finger of an overzealous zoo attendant

An overzealous zoo attendant’s finger was bitten off by a lion at an attraction in St Elizabeth, one of Jamaica’s largest parishes.

It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred on Friday, May 20, at about 4:22 pm.

According to reports, eyewitnesses revealed that the zoo was coming to an end when the zoo attendant in an apparent effort to impress visitors, attempted to pet the lion.

A viral video shows the man’s right ring finger was partially bitten off after he stuck his hand through the chain-linked lion’s cage.
