Visitors at a zoo in northern India watched the horrifying moment a man was mauled to death by lions on Sunday (January 20).<br /><br />According to zoo officials, the man entered the enclosure by scaling an over-25-feet wall and as soon as he crossed over, he was attacked by two lions.<br /><br />Officials said the incident happened at 2.20 pm in Chhatbir Zoo, Zirakpur, and the man, who is in his early 30s, was yet to be identified.<br /><br />"The injury on his neck was deep. He was taken to civil hospital in a critical condition where he died," the zoo's director M Sudhagarb said.<br /><br />The official said the man might have entered the zoo through the Ghaggar bandh area, which was also known as the jungle area.<br /><br />"He then scaled the wall and must have fallen inside the enclosure," Sudhgarb said. He claimed that the man was not a visitor.<br /><br />"We suspect that he was drunk as it is impossible for a normal person to scale the boundary wall, which is so high," the official said.<br /><br />He said a quick response team promptly removed the animals from the site and rescued the man.
