Zoo attendant’s finger caught between the teeth of a Lion after trying to impress tourists [Video]

A zookeeper who tried to dazzle visitors by putting his finger in the mouth of a lion paid the price as his finger was cut off.

A Zoo attendant was left in severe pain after he lost his finger to a Lion.

In a video making rounds on social media, an overzealous zoo attendant’s finger was bitten off by a lion at an attraction in St Elizabeth, one of Jamaica’s largest parishes.

According to reports, the incident occurred on Friday, May 20, at about 4:22 pm.

The zoo was nearing to a close when the zookeeper attempted to tease the lion in an apparent attempt to impress tourists, according to eyewitnesses who filmed the terrible episode.

After sticking his hand through the chain-linked lion’s cage, the Lion then partially ripped off his right finger.
