A routine trip to a safari park in southern India turned into a scary ordeal for a group of visitors on October 8.<br /><br />An adult lion suddenly appeared behind their jeep, chasing them for more than a kilometre through Vajpayee Zoological Park near Bellary, Karnataka. <br /><br />The jeep driver sped away to escape the pursuing lion and slowed down when he thought he had outrun the animal. <br /><br />But he had to quickly drive on again when the lion appeared again at a distance. <br /><br />The visitors could be heard laughing nervously and asking the driver not to stop the vehicle.<br /><br />A forest official observed that the lion was just being playful, commenting: “It didn’t want to hunt any human and was perhaps just bored.”
