Footage has emerged from China of what appears to be three tourists scaling a zoo's fence, next to the tiger enclosure, to avoid paying the entry fee.

The CCTV video, captured in Changsha, Hunan Province on June 10, shows the man and two women scaling the fence to sneak into Changsha Wild Animal Park.

Although the zoo section they climbed into had no wild animals in it, they were right next to the tiger enclosure and were in danger of touching the electric fence.

Fortunately, they were stopped by the park's security before they touched the fence.

It's also worth mentioning that if it was the wrong time of day - feeding time - the tigers would've been allowed in the area the three people were in.
