bosbeer Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Practical joke : Apart from the dead fish hidden in the upholstery what about rubbing "Catnip" on the tires prior to an overland African adventure ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think lionnip is probably more appropriate ! I wouldn't have hung around long enough for them to bite my tyres ! Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosbeer, is that the kgalagadi that is so green ? The lions have been getting very friendly with vehicles there for some time. Not shy of campsites either.

Not shy of campsites either. No idea , it could be the lion park down Sandton way ( there where you are classified sushi if you climb out and take a "foto" ) Reminds me if ever I visit one of those places (longleat etc) to wash any dog pee of my tires.

JimAttrill Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This happened to a mate of mine in the Lion Park. Bitten by a white lion, nogal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well wherever it is, the sign does say no stopping Those tyres seems to be pretty close to the end of their life anyway. The size of the lions made me think of the kalahari although I doubt if you'll find a no stopping sign there easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 And I thought the baboons were bad. Should have strapped a couple of them to the roof to distract the lions from the tyres. I wonder if they made a claim on their insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 It's the same lion park where the Chinese tourist was eaten a few years ago taking photos out of his car. Personally I can't see the point of going to a lion park when 3 hours north you can see the real thing. The non-tyre-eating kind. I reckon this shows how bored male lions get.
