The CCTV footage shows the man climbing out of a chairlift and jumping into the tiger enclosure below.
The thrill-seeker fell onto a protective net - and moments later, the wild animals beneath him began to circle.
A zoo employee was able to isolate the tigers in another area before climbing onto the net and helping him get down safely. Sky News reported.
The tourist, who was later questioned by police for disturbing public order, told officers that a thrill of excitement ran through him as he was passing over the enclosure - inspiring him to jump down.
