NEWS: Angry Lion Attacks Tourist At Serengeti National Park Of Tanzania

Earlier this week, a female African lion attacked and killed a 29-year-old American woman on safari outside Serengeti National Park. It’s a tragedy, but given what zoologists know about lions, not one that’s totally unexpected.

While visiting a lion reserve on a car tour, the woman rolled her window down to take some pictures. She likely did not see the lioness approach. The animal stopped three feet from the vehicle before lunging through the window. A guide, who was also in the car, tried to fight the animal off, sustaining injuries to his arm. Staff chased the lioness away, and the woman died at the scene. Signs in the park warn visitor to keep their windows rolled up, and the part has had previous incidents stemming from open windows.
