- A lion in a South African park tried to mate with a lioness
- However, the lioness rebuffed his advances several times
- Out of frustration, he lashed out at a car
A tourist in a South African game park must be thanking the heavens that his car window was rolled up after a lion attacked his car recently.
The scary moment was caught on film by 29-year-old Mark Williams-Wynn at the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga province.
In an interview, Mark said the lion was trying to mate with a lioness along a road they had leisurely blocked.

However, the lioness rebuffed his advances several times. Out of frustration, he apparently locked eyes with the occupant of the car and lashed out at him.
Mark said: "There was nothing that the occupants of the vehicle had done wrong, and luckily they had their windows up, as it could have otherwise ended in disaster. They just happened to be the closest vehicle to the lion when he lost his mind."

He added that the lion later tried to approach an open-top safari vehicle. Fortunately, the vehicle's driver was quick to move it away before anything happened.
Pictures and videos of the dramatic incident have gone viral online. The park's officials have urged tourists to always keep their windows rolled up during visits to the park.
