The unknown woman attempted to capture a quick pic with a jaguar at the Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona by reaching over the enclosure's barrier.
She was then attacked by the animal, enduring non life-threatening, but nevertheless severe injuries to the arm.
Many calling for a penalty towards the woman, and pleas to ensure the safety of the jaguar's life.
According to AZ Family, a spokesperson for the Wildlife World Zoo, Kristy Morcum, claims that the woman had returned to the zoo the following day to meet with the owner and apologize, taking full responsibility for her actions.
Morcum added that the woman admitted the incident was her own fault.
However this serves as a cautionary tale to future zoo-goers hoping to get an instagrammable photo — it's simply not worth the risk.
