How exactly do you explain this to your insurance?
A recent video showing a lion chewing off a woman's side mirror has left South Africans speechless.
The video, shared by teacher and content creator Felicia (@ismunqa_sentombi), has garnered more than 330,000 views and with good reason.
Titled "POV: you went for a self-drive at Lion and Safari Park… And this is what happened," the video begins with the back compartment of the woman's car's side mirror already missing.

The Lion & Safari Park, located near Lanseria, north of Johannesburg, offers guided and self-drive tours, allowing visitors to have close encounters with various animals, including giraffe feeding and drives through lion enclosures.

The content creator explained that her side mirror was already slightly damaged when she arrived at the park.
She believes the lion was simply curious about the rubber bands holding the mirror cover in place, which is why she decided not to report the incident to her insurance company.
