Authorities in Tampa, Florida are now working with Busch Gardens Tampa after an influencer jumped into their alligator exhibit to make a video.

Below is the YouTube video that the influencer known as "Jupa" made featuring his questionable Steve Irwin impression.

In the video, Louisiana man, Jacob Ryan Pursifull can be seen inside the park's American Alligator exhibit, which separates guests by two fences and features gators up to 15 feet long and 1,000 pounds, according to the park.

The team at Busch Gardens says that no injuries were sustained by the guest, employees, or animals during the incident.

A spokesperson for Busch Gardens said in a statement, "On May 31, a guest violated park policy with complete disregard for the safety of himself, our employees, and our animals by jumping two fences and entering one of our animal habitats despite clear do not enter signage and multiple barriers indicating it was a restricted access area."

"Jupa" has less than 1,000 followers across his various social media channels, and regularly posts "prank" videos which typically involve him harassing strangers and frequently getting kicked out of places.
