    A guy has actually passed away after he climbed up over a fence into a lion enclosure at a zoo.

    Security guards observed the middle-aged guy had actually scaled the high mesh fence and got in at around midday regional time on Sunday.

    A lion, a lioness and 2 cubs reside in the enclosure at Accra Zoo in the capital of Ghana, west Africa.

    It is not yet clear why he climbed up inside.

    ‘The intruder was attacked and injured by one of the lions,’ the state Forestry Commission stated the other day.

    They included that the guy passed away from injuries he sustained in the attack.

    Zoo authorities handled to coax the animals to a safe location so they might enter into the enclosure and recuperate the body.
