PORTLAND, Ore. - A video of a little boy's visit to the lion exhibit at the Oregon Zoo is getting plenty of national attention.

The boy's family taped this video of a lion, trying to reach the boy, from behind the glass wall. The toddler was dressed in black and white stripes and barely noticed the attention being given to him from the wild beast.

They think the lion may have mistaken the child for a zebra. 

Zoo workers said the lions often interact with young visitors and the glass keeps them safe.
