A 19-year-old man in Brazil has died after entering a lioness enclosure at a zoo, according to officials.
The incident occurred after the man entered the restricted area where the animal was being kept.
Zoo officials said the lioness acted instinctively during the encounter and stressed that the animal would not be euthanized.
The decision has sparked reactions online, with many people debating the responsibility of humans in such incidents and whether animals should be punished for responding instinctively to perceived threats.
Authorities are expected to investigate how the man gained access to the enclosure and review the zoo's security measures to prevent similar incidents.
