A family have been rescued by safari park rangers after their car caught fire in the middle of the lion enclosure.
The drama unfolded at Longleat, Wiltshire, which was packed with visitors enjoying the long Easter weekend at the time.
George Lear, 16, from Bristol, was just a few cars away when the blaze broke out.
"We saw all the lions were staring at something and we turned around to see a smoking car," he said.
"Once the rangers had realised, they quickly escorted people from the smoking car to their own, blocked off the roads and moved the other cars away.
Lions are able to wander close to cars as they pass through their enclosure "The car then slowly caught fire before the whole thing went up, leaving the place filled with black smoke."
Mr Lear said the lions were about 150 metres away from the car at the time.
"They kept their distance but didn't take their eyes off the fire and smoke," he said.
"The rangers were pushing them back but they were reluctant on moving away and looked interested."
No-one at Longleat Safari Park was available for comment when contacted by Sky News.
However, it is thought the fire was put out quickly, with no reports of injuries to any people or animals.
