South African National Parks (SANParks ) has fined a driver who struck a lioness in the Kruger Park last week Friday.
It is a punishable offence to cause harm to animals, according to the regulations of SANParks.
“The individual through the car registration information will be issued with a maximum fine of R1.500,” said SANParks.
“He bumped it slightly and this visitor broke the rules of the park as far as the protocols of animal sighting are concerned.”
The lion is in good health, according to SANParks.
As evidenced by a video that has been circulating on social media one of the lions was bumped by an impatient driver in a Toyota Land Cruiser in an apparent attempt to force it off the road.
Several vehicles were waiting for the lions to move off the road.
