A group of drunk American YouTubers have been slammed for acting like a pack of wild animals after creeping into a Singapore safari park at night, petting a sleeping wallaby and trying to feed a hyena a potato chip.
The video filmed at the Mandai Night Safari by a group known as 4funguys on social media was uploaded to TikTok on Oct 26 and recently resurfaced on the video sharing platform.
The reckless behavior has been viewed ‘seriously’ by park management who on Tuesday said that acts of trespassing and the intent to disrespect or endanger wildlife will not be tolerated.
A police report was lodged by the park on Dec 31 authorities telling asiaone.com that the matter is being investigated.

In the TikTok video, the young men are seen purchasing bottles of soju from a convenience store and downing their drinks before heading into the Night Safari, where they can be seen boarding a tram.
Although it’s not known what time they arrived at the park, the video’s caption said that one of the men, Johnny, jumped off the tram at 2am.
‘Jonny just randomly got off the tram,’ one of the inebriated YouTubers is heard saying as he stumbles through the bush and into the darkness.
The group are then seen wandering around on their own, jumping fences and exploring the enclosures with total disregard to park rules.
‘This animal exhibit where there are no cages on anything,’ said another one of the YouTubers who proceeds to pan the camera across the park.
A sleeping wallaby is the first animal the group encounter, the person filming the moment asking, ‘what are you doing’ as one member leans down to pat the dozing marsupial.

‘Aw, he’s patting him,’ another from the group can be heard saying before they explode into laughter.
The video then cuts to the Hyena enclosure where the brazen group proceed to interact with the creature.
‘So that’s a hyena with no fence,’ one of the YouTubers is heard saying before one from the group, referred to as John, is seen trying to feed it a potato chip.
‘Come here buddy,’ the person referred to as John is heard saying to beckon over the carnivorous animal.
The final clips of the video show the group attempting to scale a small rocky wall helping one another up the precarious surface.
The short 30 second clip was slammed in the comments some going as far as to alert authorities.

‘How did they manage to openly behave in such a reckless way? Shldnt someone be supervising the tram rides,’ one person queried.

In 2020, a 19-year-old entered a rhino enclosure at the Singapore Zoo and performed a backflip in front of the animals.
Ralph Wee Yi Kai posted videos of his stunt, filmed by his female companion, on his TikTok account.
He was charged with criminal trespass and eventually sentenced to undergo reformative training for at least at a year. His female companion also received a stern warning for abetting criminal trespass.
