An American tourist inside a car was killed and a tour operator was injured in an attack by a lion at a park near Johannesburg, South Africa, a spokesman for The Lion Park told ABC News.
Staff members hurried into an enclosure at the park to fight off the lion and called an ambulance after the attack took place around 2:30 p.m. local time, or 8:30 a.m. ET, the spokesman, Scott Simpson told ABC News.
...
Witnesses quoted in South African media said they saw two people travelling in a car with their windows open. The lion is reported to have jumped at the woman through the open window and killed her.

Lions aren’t fun when they aren’t singing Akuna Matatta (or whatever the hell it is).

Especially written I clear English...but maybe she was an "American" that didn't assimilate and only spoke Spanish? No matter, it is Darwin's ghost at work cleaning out the gene pool.

Soooo. Opening the sunroof is OK?
To: jim_trent

I was attacked by a lion in Platsburgh once. He wanted to sell me light bulbs.
