Still Waters Posted April 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2014 A family was left with nowhere to run when their car caught fire - in the lion enclosure at Longleat Safari Park. The car overheated in the first big cat enclosure at the Wiltshire attraction on Friday afternoon. Rangers managed to rescue a woman and two children from the car before it burst into flames. http://www.bbc.co.uk...tshire-27078566 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted April 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It seems that Wiltshire is a hotspot for nearly everything meanwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient astronaut Posted April 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2014 They can laugh about it now, but I guarantee they weren't laughing whilst it was happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemagegod Posted April 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Burned Alive or Being Mauled by Lions Tough Choice. But i'd stick to the car at least until the car is completely engulfed. And then run my ass off to the rangers car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundew Posted April 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2014 You know you're in trouble when you look out of your smoke filled car and see lions putting on bibs and grabbing the bar-be-que sauce. All kidding aside, they are blessed to be alive, twice! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted April 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Most safari park lions I've seen were very lazy and well fed. I doubt there was very much danger. Still good thing that they got rescued quickly. Also good that no lions were killed out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibeliever Posted April 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2014 How in the world does your car catch fire? I mean what are the odds of that happening at all, let alone in the one place within 1000 miles where it's actually safer to stay in the burning vehicle? Maybe someone should school this woman on regular vehicle maintenance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted April 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure the lions would have been too concerned about the fire to be thinking about food during that episode. Still, how unlucky can you be to be stuck wondering whether you are about to be burnt alive or eaten. It would have been pretty harrowing for them at the time.

The lions had the meerkats put dry grass around the engine in hopes of getting some nice tender tourists, in return they promised not to eat the meerkats. Or it could be no vehicle maintenance like you said . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
