The Kruger National Park is urging people who saw a lioness being bumped by a car to come forward.
A motorist who bumped a lioness with his vehicle in the Kruger National Park on Sunday may face charges.
According to the statement, in the video, the lioness is seen strolling with other lionesses when she was bumped by a vehicle. The driver was seemingly impatient to get past other vehicles at the sighting. KNP spokesperson Ike Phaahla said park management immediately asked KNP Protection Services to trace the owner of the vehicle and investigate the incident.
In the statement, KNP management also said strict measures are always taken against offending drivers to prevent similar incidents in a protected area, ultimately safeguarding wild animals and vegetation.
