1:48Now PlayingViral video captured the horrific moment a troubled teen was pulled from a tree into a lion’s pen at a Brazilian zoo. The 19-year-old, who dreamed of becoming a lion tamer, climbed a 20-foot fence to get into the big cats’ enclosure, as shocked visitors watched helplessly when the big cat dragged him behind a wall. He reappeared briefly as he tried to run away, before the lioness leapt on him again. The teen, who had reportedly been diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent time in prison, was mauled to death.
