A group of drunk American YouTubers have come under fire for acting like a pack of wild animals after sneaking into a Singapore safari park at night, petting a sleeping kangaroo and attempting to feed a hyena chips.
Video shot at Mandai Night Safari by a group known as 4funguys on social media was uploaded to TikTok on October 26 and recently resurfaced on the video-sharing platform.
The reckless behavior has been taken “seriously” by park management, who on Tuesday said acts of trespassing and intent to disrespect or endanger wildlife will not be tolerated.
The park filed a police report on December 31 to authorities saying asiaone.com that the matter is being investigated.
A group of drunk American YouTubers have come under fire for acting like a pack of wild animals after sneaking into a Singapore safari park overnight.
Video shot at Mandai Night Safari by a group known as 4funguys on social media was uploaded to TikTok on October 26 and has recently resurfaced on the video-sharing platform.
In the TikTok video, the youths are seen buying bottles of soju at a convenience store and having their drinks before heading to the Night Safari, where they can be seen boarding a tram.
Although it is not known what time they arrived at the park, the caption to the video says that one of the men, Johnny, jumped off the tram at 2 am.
“Jonny randomly got off the tram,” one of the inebriated YouTubers is heard saying as he staggers through the bushes and off into the darkness.
The group is then seen wandering around on their own, jumping fences and exploring the enclosures without regard for park rules.
“This animal exhibit where there are no cages at all,” said another of the YouTubers who proceeds to move the camera around the park.
A sleeping wallaby is the first animal the group encounters, the person filming the moment asks, “What are you doing?” while one of the members bends down to pet the sleepy marsupial.

‘Oh, he’s petting it,’ another member of the group can be heard saying before bursting out laughing.
The video then cuts to the hyena’s enclosure, where the cheeky group proceed to interact with the creature.
“So that’s a hyena without a fence,” one of the YouTubers is heard saying before one of the group, known as John, is seen trying to feed him chips.
“Come here, buddy,” the person known as John is heard saying to beckon the carnivorous animal.
The final clips of the video show the group attempting to scale a small rock face helping each other up the precarious surface.
The short 30-second clip was criticized in the comments, with some going so far as to alert the authorities.
