This is not the type of exhibit people came to see at the zoo.

Police say a woman climbed over a barrier at the Bronx Zoo's lion exhibit Thursday afternoon and cell phone footage shows her holding roses and tossing $100 bills into the air towards a lion.

The woman is seen in a blood wig, red dress, and leopard-print shawl.

A spokesperson for the Bronx Zoo said that witnesses ran to get security, but by the time they got there - she was gone.

Zoo officials say they will press charges against the woman for criminal trespass if she is identified.
