This is the horrifying moment a lioness reared up and mauled to death an American tourist after she stopped to take a photograph in a South African safari park.
Standing on its hind legs, the lioness is seen peering into the vehicle seconds before it attacked Katherine Chappell, an editor on hit TV show Game of Thrones, through the open window.
Engineer Ben Govender, 38, who was in the car behind Miss Chappell, said 'no one could have imagined' what would happen in the minutes after he took the extraordinary photograph.
He described the 'terrifying' scene as he watched the animal take its first bite out of the passenger on the back seat before retreating from the vehicle, blood dripping from its mouth and paw.

Mauled: Miss Chappell, 29, an editor on hit TV show Game of Thrones, was taking a break from volunteering when she was killed
Miss Chappell, 29, was killed in the safari park north of Johannesburg on Monday while taking a break from a two-week volunteering project on another nature preserve.
Mr Govender said that at first the male and female lions did not seem interested - and that the lioness stood up 'without warning'.
He said: 'It was terrifying. After the first bite the lioness retreated from the car with blood dripping from her mouth and paw.
'We all thought she was done and didn’t like what she’d just bitten. But then like someone in a temper that wasn’t satisfied in a fight, she leaped back into the car and mauled the passenger.

At the end of the day, lions will be lions despite any human being's good intentions.

That's why I find Zoo's so fucked up and why I cheer for the animals whenever they escape and go ape shit.
I'm glad that the lioness was only moved to another park and not euthanized. There would have been no need for the lioness to die.
Anyone who goes to one of these places in Africa and is stupid enough to take their own car and not a caged in safari car is already taking a big chance. But to take your own car and then have your windows all the way down, even when a damn wild animal notices you and starts to approach, just so you can get a better picture, is just STUPID.
Rest in peace to the lady, but good lord, she deserves a Darwin Award asap.

zoo's are interesting and unique, but I don't like them for the simple fact they take a free roaming animal and contain it for the rest of it's life.
that is inherently cruel
For me the worst are these dolphin and orca shows. But I've read somewhere, in several countries they aren't allowed anymore .
