He then reached into the enclosure and one of the jaguars tried to grab him, said zoo deputy director Dan Maloney.

The witness explained that before making contact, the man teased the animals.
“This man was not thinking with his head at all,” said zoo deputy director Dan Maloney. Fortunately, he noted, the animal was unable to grab the man's hand.
If the cat had bitten him, “it would have been a completely different story,” Maloney warned.
