The little boy was seriously afraid for his life when a tiger sneaks up on him from behind, jumped and… crashed into the glass separating the visitors from Dublin zoo exhibited animals.
Still do not know who was more shocked: seven years Sean or tiger who was going to eat, but it was prevented by some invisible barrier.

The tiger in the video looks confused.
Sean and his dad visited the zoo in Dublin. The tiger enclosure is fenced with a sturdy glass that allows you to take in the sights of wildlife and make beautiful pictures with the fauna.
When Sean posed for the camera, the tiger attention was riveted on the boy. The small man who so recklessly turned the predator back, told tiger to take advantage of the situation and do a little hunting. He crept up to Shawn and sharply attacked him. However, the tiger did not realize the small but very important detail — strong glass fencing.
Sean’s father shared his story with Twitter users.
«My son was in the menu, Dublin zoo!».
The video quickly gained half a million views, making Sean the famous.
The boy’s father said: «I think he’s happy to tell his friends about it at school when I get back after the Christmas break».
This case recalls a similar video story, which happened in September.
Users ‘ opinions about this video are divided: some saw the «tiger hit the glass», others — «the boy who was afraid». The comments sparked a real debate.
«That poor tiger could get hurt… to lose teeth or get some other injury. But of course, let’s enjoy a cool viral video!»
«I hate zoos. It hurts me to see these poor animals in such a situation.»
«It’s a living creature in conditions of incredible psychological and physical stress. It’s cruel.»
