Last weekend a woman entered a lion and giraffe enclosure at the Bronx Zoo.

On Thursday, the New York Police Department identified the woman as 32-year-old Myah Autry.

The woman was captured by witnesses on camera taunting a lion after climbing into its exhibit.

She was even seen waving and dancing once inside.

In the video, the lion appears too stunned to pounce and the woman seems unbothered even as it takes a few steps towards her.

Neither the woman nor the lion were injured in the incident.

In addition to the lion’s enclosure, she illegally entered the giraffe area and took photos.

In a tweet, police said they are still trying to find Autry and asked for the public’s help.

NYPD says she’ll be charged with criminal trespassing.
