The visibly terrified occupants of the truck are seen watching on as the predators are nibbling at the tyres, while other lions try to smash the truck’s windows.

According to the Daily Mail, the ordeal lasted about an hour, and the dramatic attack which occurred early this month was captured on camera by safari tour guide Emmanuel Bayo, from Arusha, Tanzania.
The hungry lions had not made a kill in a while according to Bayo, and when they spotted the truck with humans, they made their attack.
“They destroyed the wheels and tried to smash the windows – even though we have enforced glass which stops this. It would have been a disaster if we hadn’t,” Bayo said.
