Lions kill Zimbabwe park visitor

A pride of lions attacked and killed a Japanese visitor at a Zimbabwe wildlife park last week, state media reported Sunday.

The attack -- thought to be the first of its kind in Zimbabwe -- happened Thursday at the Lion and Cheetah Park at Norton as a 50-year-old woman was about to leave the park's 20-hectare (49-acre) lion enclosure on foot with five other people from the Japanese Embassy.

It was not immediately clear what the group was doing on foot inside the enclosure. Previously, visitors have been under strict instructions not to exit their vehicles.
