The Toronto Zoo is investigating after a video surfaced online appearing to show a woman jumping over a protective fence to recover a hat that fell inside a tiger's pen. 
 
 In the video posted on YouTube on Saturday, the woman can be seen climbing down the fence and reaching to grab the hat, while a tiger, separated by a second fence, lunges toward her. 
 
 After recovering the hat, the woman hops back over toward a group of onlookers. 
 
 "You're a moron, you're a moron," a man can be heard shouting. "You're a bad example to everyone else's kids." 
 
 Another woman can then be seen intervening to break up the argument. 
 
 "She jumped into a tiger cage. Are [you] kidding me?" the man can be heard saying in response. 
 
 Toronto Zoo spokesperson Jennifer Tracey told CBC News that she learned of the incident through the YouTube video and that the zoo is seeking witnesses who can help explain what happened. 
 
 "It was very irresponsible of this individual to jump over the boardwalk and [she] could have easily injured herself by exciting the animal in this way," Tracey said. "The situation could have been much worse." 
 
 No zoo staff were at the tiger's pen when the incident occurred, Tracey said. 
 
 The staff member assigned to the tiger's pen also watches over other animals in the Indo-Malayan area, such as snow leopards and the zoo's Indian rhino. According to Tracey, that staff member would have likely been at another pen when it happened. 
 
 "It's not unusual that visitors may drop things [inside an animal's pen], but when they do, they should notify zoo staff because they have the necessary equipment to help retrieve it," she said. ||||| The Toronto Zoo has launched an investigation after a YouTube video appearing to show a woman jumping the barrier in front of their Sumatran tiger exhibit surfaced Saturday. 
 
 Communications Director Jennifer Tracey said the investigation was initiated by the zoo’s Safety and Security branch shortly after they saw the video. 
 
 According to City of Toronto zoo by-laws, no person except authorized staff can “climb, break, injure, mark, tamper with or deface any building, fence, cage, enclosure, equipment, installation or structure” in the zoo or enter an area where a no-trespassing sign is displayed. 
 
 Tracey confirmed there were multiple signs in the area warning not to cross the barriers. 
 
 Violating these by-laws could mean a long-term ban or a fine of up to $2,000. 
 
 “We have a range of provisions and bylaws that could include trespassing and bans from the zoo as well,” she said. 
 
 The zoo has yet to identify who the suspect is. 
 
 Once identified, punishment for the suspect will be at the discretion of Toronto Zoo’s CEO John Tracogna. 
 
 It is also unknown whether or not any staff saw the incident happen. 
 
 The zoo is encouraging any witnesses or suspects to come forward.
– People at the Toronto Zoo want to talk to somebody who got too close for comfort to one of their Sumatran tigers—for the sake of a hat. A video that surfaced over the weekend shows a woman hopping a fence at the tiger enclosure to retrieve a fallen hat, the CBC reports. The tiger can be seen lunging at the woman, who is behind a second fence. "You're a moron," a man can be heard shouting after she climbs out of the area. "You're a bad example to everyone else's kids." CityNews reports that if the woman, who ignored warning signs, is identified, she could face a maximum $2,000 fine and a long-term zoo ban.
