A trip to the zoo is much more fun - and potentially dangerous - if you're dressed like a zebra.
Viral video footage of a tot's first trip to the Oregon Zoo shows a ravenous lioness trying to lunge at him over and over through a glass barrier.
The boy, Jack, happens to be dressed in a black and white striped hoodie, "like a baby zebra," his mother, who took the video, writes on YouTube.
In the clip, Jack appears unfazed, not minding that the lioness, Kya, is attacking the glass wall behind him, at one point trying to wrap her jaws around his little head.
Luckily for little Jack, the big cat’s teeth are no match for the barrier.
More than 150,000 people have viewed the video since it was published online Wednesday.
Jack's mother, Heather Baltzor, who took the video, said her son's outfit was purely coincidence.
"We didn't even realize he looked like a zebra until we got home but a lot of the animals in the zoo - the crocodiles and the jaguars - apparently did," Baltzor told The Huffington Post. "They would come up the glass and look at him.
"We were never worried. We thought it was hilarious."
Kim Smith, the zoo's director, told KGW.com that Kya's behavior wasn't out of the ordinary, and that the animals often interact with small children through the glass.
"She's using a typical prey behavior," she said.
