Man Jumps Fence Into Big Cat Enclosure | St. Louis News

A man took a dangerous shortcut into the big cat enclosure at St. Louis Zoo, hopping a fence and wandering concrete areas before cops arrived — thankfully with no injuries. The zoo blames an open gate left by a contractor, and now they’re reviewing security to prevent future incidents. This isn’t the first time someone’s tried to mess with the animals — and it’s not the only wild story: Andean bear Ben, who’s had escape attempts, is moving to a new zoo with a moat for extra safety. Meanwhile, the zoo’s WildCare Park is set to open in Spanish Lake in 2027, with groundwork already underway — showing they’re expanding while also tightening safety measures.
