By AOL Travel, Apr 19, 2014
A family was left in a terrifying predicament on an Easter holiday trip to Longleat Safari Park - after their car caught fire in the lion enclosure.
The car overheated at the Wiltshire attraction on Friday afternoon.
Thankfully, rangers managed to rescue a woman and two children before the entire car burst into flames.
Kevin Ashley, from Longleat Safari Park, told the BBC: "The lions were cleared from the enclosure and the safari park was closed."

But as my daughter says, at least you have a story to tell and surviving would be one hell of a story.

(17,865 posts)in California as a kid during a school field trip, one of the lions jumped onto the hood of the bus. It made for a spectacular memory. Unfortunately they closed that facility. I went to it a couple of times with my parents. It was probably my favorite amusement in Southern California as a kid (and we are talking about a lot of great things).
