JOHANNESBURG -- A lion killed an American woman and injured a man driving through a private wildlife park in Johannesburg on Monday, a park official said.
The attack occurred at around 2:30 p.m. when a lioness approached the passenger side of the vehicle as the woman took photos and then lunged, said Scott Simpson, assistant operations manager at the Lion Park.
"They had their windows all the way down, which is strictly against policy," he said. "The lion bit the lady through the window." The driver then tried to punch the lion and was scratched by the animal.
Park staff quickly chased the lion away from the car and an ambulance arrived promptly. "Unfortunately, she did pass away," said Simpson, adding that the U.S. Embassy had been informed.

I blame Disney and all the anthropomorphic characterizations of animals............
Very likely a liberal woman. One thing about liberals is they don’t comprehend danger. They just don’t. I myself have first hand knowledge of how liberals don’t see danger where it clearly is. They don’t sense danger and disregard it, everything is rainbows and lollipops to them.
Part of the mental illness I guess.
Bush's fault
It’s the Circle of Life.
Yes. The woman’s first mistake was lunging at a lioness. They are often startled by sudden movements.

You mean polar bears don’t walk up to humans and hug them for driving environmentally friendly cars?
Hakuna Matata!
And they don’t drink Coca-cola.................they like Dr. Pepper..................

Not surprising.
Cheetah = max 70 mph Bicycle = max 45 mph
Assuming constant velocities, if we knew the original distance between them, and the angle of pursuit, we could use simple math to approximate the length of time it took for the cheetah to catch the bicyclist.
Unless we're using Common Core math that is...
A thin little window wouldn’t stop a lion.
Well played.
The problem is, you only get to be the bug once.
Actually, it will, as long as the lion has not been driven in to a frenzy by some moron taunting it.
It means no worries, for the rest of your days.
Correct.
At least that is what the ones that walk up and hug me for driving an environmentally friendly car tell me.
