Safety measures to be aware of when encountering a lion

Wildlife experts have warned of the importance of keeping car doors and windows securely closed during wildlife viewing excursions. Although such incidents are rare, lions are incredibly strong and possess the ability to open car doors.

According to Safe at Work California, when one encounters a lion, it is important to always remain composed and steadily back away or hold your posture.

Persuade the animal that you could be hazardous and that you are not prey. Stand up straight, raise your arms, and face the lion, trying to look as big as you can. You should shout and wave your arms if the lion is acting aggressively. You could also grab a stick or throw objects at the lion. If you are attacked, fight back.
