Woman, 21, is bitten in neck by lion after being dragged off horse

A 21-year-old woman was bitten in the neck by a lion after being dragged off a horse during a South Africa safari - but miraculously survived.

I would not necessarily agree that putting a young Swedish volunteer at the back of a horse riding group through the bush "for safety" as stated would have been a good idea. I would have thought one guide at the front and one at the back. But admittedly I know nothing and have watched too many films lol! But a very lucky girl and an amazing photo of the bite on the back of her neck. Lucky to live.....

Another harsh wakeup call for the Disney crowd.

The nerve of the lion to be lurking near by.

She believes the lion jumped on her out of curiosity.

Yeah, curiosity as to how she would taste.

Thankfully she is expected to make a full recovery.

Ok, too soon, but gotta add some humor to this bad situation.

Glad the young lady is ok. - Infections, stroke and nerve damage. I hope she fully recovers.

Sounds like they get a little too familiar with these carnivores in this outfit.
"Naemi said she recognised the lion that attacked her, describing it as around two years old and previously seen several times near the safari area."

Lucky the young lion was just practicing and learning.
