Stupidity knows no bounds.

A lion leapt through an open car window and mauled to death an American tourist at a privately-run game park just outside Johannesburg, a park official said.

The 22-year-old woman and another American tourist were travelling through the park, northwest of South Africa's biggest city, with their car windows open.

The second tourist, a man, suffered serious injuries while trying to save the victim who was sitting in the car passenger seat.

The incident is the latest in attacks at the park, which is popular with both locals and foreigners.

In March, an Australian tourist was injured by a lioness after driving through the park with his car windows open.

Two days later, a 13-year-old was attacked by a cheetah while riding a bicycle through the grounds.

The park has more than 85 lions, including rare white lions, and a variety of other animals, including giraffes and ostriches.

According to its website, Lion Park guarantees ‘super close-up animal views’ but it does order visitors to keep their car windows shut.

I know that Doha Zoo is reopening as a park and Rizks is offering tours in his Tuk-Tuk. Please be careful. I hate to think what will happen with all those wild ferocious animals wondering around in the open..

Yes, he clearly wants to tell us that the animals always kill humans of the opposite gender than theirs. If you are a man you don't have to be afraid of the Lion King. If you're a woman a Lioness won't do you any harm. But, if it's the other way around ... be extra careful.

It is baffling ........... 1. ... an Australian tourist was injured by a LIONESS after driving through the park with HIS car windows open. 2. A LION leapt through an open car window and mauled to death to 22-year-old WOMAN American tourist ..... ............. ........... It's beyond comprehension that LION has killed a WOMAN & LIONESS has harmed a gentleman .... ................... Tue, 02.06.2015, 11.30 hrs

My TukTuk is now upgraded.

I have installed Iron grill to be safe from the ferocious animals.

Britey, you will be the first I will take for a ride in my TukTuk through the gang of hungry and frustrated Lions....:)
