THE BIZARRE moment a man took off all his clothes to run through a forest like a tiger has been caught on camera.

The man, identified only as Marek H, is believed to have been high on LSD after taking the psychedelic drug to treat his depression.

A phototrap caught a flash of the 21-year-old man running stark-naked on all fours through a forest in Poland.

According to authorities, Marek, from the Czech Republic town of Liberec, discovered his “true personality” when he stripped naked and pretended to be a tiger.

Confused foresters handed the snaps over to police, who later apprehended Marek.

The 21-year-old eventually confessed he had taken the hallucinatory drug after being questioned by cops, CEN reports.

He explained how he believed he had become a Siberian tiger once the drug kicked in, which is when his “true personality woke up”.

Once the transition was complete, he “picked up a scent” and felt compelled to follow it on all-fours, he told cops.

After mapping out his journey, cops realised the 21-year-old had travelled 25 kilometres (15.5miles) through forest which marks the Czech-Polish border in this way.

At the time of his questioning, Marek did not have any drugs in his possession.

He has been fined, but will not face further charges.

In May this year, a man stripped naked and entered a lion enclosure in a Chilean zoo, prompting keepers to kill two lions.

The man, who was named locally as Franco Luis Ferrada Roman, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, and survived the incident.

After stripping and jumping down into the big cat enclosure, the lions pounced on him and began to “play” with the intruder, horrifying visitors.

At this point in the incident, quick-thinking zookeepers intervened and shot the two lions to save his life, as there were no tranquilisers to hand.

Speaking on the tragic incident after the fact, zoo director Alejandra Montalva told local reporters: “We believe that this person entered as a visitor and paid for his ticket.

“Later he trespassed into an area where the public are not normally allowed and we understand that he forced the roof of the lion's enclosure.

“It was from there that he jumped, took off his clothes and started to attract the lions.”
