Bushes are seen shaking, and the teen stands up one more time before disappearing from view.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It got him. It got him,&#8221; visitors can be heard saying, with exclamations of &#8220;my God!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The government statement said Machado &#8220;died from injuries caused by the animal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The zoo said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRr538KjUu3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement on Instagram<\/a> that the incident was &#8220;extremely sad&#8221; and that it was closed while investigations continue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We reiterate that the park follows rigorous technical standards and safety protocols, and we are fully cooperating with all responsible bodies to clarify the facts,&#8221; the zoo said.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRsJB6TkTqj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">separate Instagram post<\/a>, the park said that &#8220;euthanasia was never considered&#8221; for Leona, who &#8220;shows no aggressive behavior outside the context of the incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-instagram embed--float-none embed--size-medium lazyload\" data-require=\"third-party\/instagram\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRsJB6TkTqj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;The Bica team, veterinarians, handlers, and technicians are fully dedicated to Leona&#8217;s well-being, ensuring that she recovers, stabilizes emotionally, and resumes her routine safely,&#8221; the park said.<\/p>\n<p>Park vet Thiago Nery defended safety standards around the lion enclosure, which he said has more than eight meters of protection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This incident was completely unforeseeable, outside any scenario within the park&#8217;s routine,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The government statement said initial investigations showed &#8220;the man&#8217;s actions may have been a possible suicide attempt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Child protection counselor Veronica Oliveira said in a video on Instagram that she had accompanied Machado for eight years as he &#8220;went through all the institutional care in this city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said his mother and grandparents suffered from schizophrenia, but state psychiatrists said he merely &#8220;had a behavioral problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He should have been in treatment,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>In other media interviews, Oliveira said Machado had dreamed of being a lion tamer, and once cut through an airport fence and hid in the landing gear of a plane he thought was going to Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Society, without knowing your story, preferred to throw you into the lion&#8217;s den,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Fatal lion attacks at zoos are extremely rare, but this marks the second such incident in fewer than three months.
