A lioness has mauled a tourist to death in a game reserve in South Africa. The 22 year-old American had been photographing the lioness from the car with the window down when the animal attacked her at the game reserve. The reserve was located 20 north of Johanesburg.
The lioness walked so slowly towards the car and stopped roughly a metre away. The lion then sort of lunged at the car and it bit the lady throught the window. The staff of the reserve immediately rushed over to chase the lion away.
This tragic event has reminded visitors of the need of heed warnings laid out by staff at the game reserve.
Local media are reporting the woman's death marks the third incident in the past four months at the park.
