'THE LLAMA'S F***ING BITTEN ME'
Teens break into London Zoo at night and film themselves roaming animal enclosures
The group broke into the famous zoo and wandered around until they were caught by security guards and police
THIS is the daring footage taken by a gang of teenagers who broke into London Zoo at night and filmed themselves exploring the enclosures until they were caught by police and turfed out.
One of the yobs ended up being bitten by a llama he tried to pet, and another jumped over the barriers into the empty penguin enclosure during the brazen escapade.

The group of four boys filmed their bold stunt using headcams and the footage was posted on YouTube by prolific user Ally Law on December 23.
It shows them beginning their antic by clambering over a high wall on the edge of the zoo in Camden, in Regents Park, after it had closed for the day.
They laugh at a security guard who has no idea they are there as they break in.
The yobs can then be seen exploring the dark pathways with Ally telling the camera they are searching for the lions and tigers, but they only seem to find cows, goats and butterflies.

At one point it transpires that some animals are not happy at their presence with a llama - usually famed for spitting - snapping at one of the group, called Rikke.
Ally laughs gleefully at the camera while explaining his friend has been bitten, as sounds of swearing can be heard coming from Rikke.
Eventually the gang are discovered by a security guard while they are stood among some goats, who explains to them that they have broken the law by stepping onto zoo property after hours.

"The men climbed over a locked fence into the children’s zoo area, where they interacted with some goats and a llama.
"They also climbed over a decorative gate in Tiger Territory, to access the exhibit’s public area only.
"Fortunately no animals were harmed by the individuals, and they were all given civil offence fines by the police.
