@angelbakhsh: Lions generally do not attack safari vehicles because they perceive them as large, unfamiliar, non-prey, and non-threatening objects rather than a group of individual humans. Due to habituation, lions in national parks have learned to disregard the slow moving, predictable vehicles Lions perceive the vehicle as one large, solid, and immovable object that is too large to be considered prey Lions often grow up seeing vehicles, so they are accustomed to their presence, treating them as part of the environment Tourists are required to stay inside, remain seated, and be quiet, which prevents them from being seen as moving, distinct food items The overwhelming smell of diesel and oil hides human scent Lions, as apex predators, are conservative with their energy and avoid risky confrontations with large, unknown objects #lion #safari #wildanimals #wildlife #bigcat
