Lucas Tomas, 22, held his jacked as if it were a bullfighter's cape and challenged one of the two lions in the pit. The lion apparently didn't take the bait.
Tomas was saved after a nearby policeman fired several shots into the air, scaring the lion away. Tomas eventually climbed out and was taken to a hospital. He suffered minor injuries to his hands, arms and face.
According to hospital officials, Tomas says he was ordered by voices from God to go in and taunt the lions.
