Tourists Caged and Viewed by Hungry Lions in New Zealand Park
Tourists Caged and Viewed by Hungry Lions in New Zealand Park
Nov 2, 2024 8:35 AM

In a reverse of the normal structure of zoos, the Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch, New Zealand is offering visitors the chance to step into a cage and be watched by a group of curious animals. In this case, the animals are a pride of hungry lions, who swarm the cage and even climb up the sides and top of it.

According to ABC News, the cage is attached to a flat-bed truck so that the tourists can be driven around the lion enclosure at feeding time. About 20 tourists can fit in the trick at a time and marvel at the growling predators as they eat their meal.

The Lion Encounter, as it's advertised by the park, is a unique chance for tourists to see dangerous lions up close without any risk, says the International Business Times. Tickets go for NZ$30 (US$23) per person.

In addition to the lions, the Orana Wildlife Park also features 400 animals and 70 different species, including cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos, gorillas, lemurs and otters.
