Hello and welcome.:smiley20:
To answer your question Shayne: it was in Gweru at the Antelope Park, lion got out coz workers didnt close gates properly when feeding them.we went to dam and nobody told us there was a lion roaming around. Idiots!! my parents were friends with the owners so they really sucked up after the incident, aaahhh if i was old enough i would have sued them!!

Was it just playing with you and got rough or was it a proper attack?

Hahahahaha
Well let me just tell u the whole story(i must warn you that my stories are very long): We lived on a farm next to the Antelope park. The lion got out on a wednesday and killed and ate the owners dogs. My dad had a little boat that he wanted to test so we went to the dam on the saturday with my mom, sister, this other couple(friends of my parents)and their son. When we drove through the workers just waved to us and didnt say anything about a lion out. We got to the dam and my dad went on the boat with the other guy and his son(they also wanted to do a bit of fishing) My mom, sister,that lady friend and I stayed. We were sitting on this big rock near the edge of the water, they were facing the water and i was facing the bush. I was jumping up and down the rock and then i check this lion stalking towards us. I shouted to my mom and said theres a lion, she didnt believe me at first and told me to stop playing around. Then she turned around and saw it, they got up and ran towards the camper. I was shocked and didnt know which way to go as i was facing it. I couldve jumped in the dam but then i might have been grazed by crocs so i just froze. The lion jumped on the rock and bit me on the neck, i fell to the ground straight away and i didnt move or struggle i just lay there.If i had struggled and screamed I think i would not be here today(it must have thought-what an easy kill) Then it started licking my blood and was standing over me. By that time my mom realised i wasnt with them. I remember looking up and seeing my mom, she ran down and pulled the lion off me. She told me to run, i got up and ran. The lion just ran after me, but i got to the camper in time. My dad built this landrover with a caravan at the back and a platform with a ladder at the front for game viewing. I didnt have time to open doors etc so i ran straight to the ladder and climbed up and went right to the back near the roof of the caravan. By this time my whole shirt was soaked with blood. The lion was just standing there watching me and licking its lips. My mom then picked up some rocks and went around the camper and got back in, she started throwing the rocks at the lion to get it away so that she could lift me inside. After some time the lion went to the edge of the water and my mom got me inside. My mom hadnt driven this camper before and she was shaking so she just started whistling and hooting hoping my dad would hear and come back. After a while that boy with my dad thought he could hear something so they decided to go back and see if anything was wrong. When they got to the edge my dad shouted and said whats wrong? My mom said, its kim, shes been attacked by a lion. The lion was still by the edge of the water but quite far from the boat, my dad got out and ran towards the camper, he got in and started to take me to the hospital, we just left those people sitting in the boat.on the way we met up with the owners wife, they put me in her car to take me to the hospital while my dad went back to shoot the lion coz once it tastes human blood you have to shoot it. (Dont worry im nearly finished) They gave me stitches:smiley19: even thought you are not meant to with an animal bite-lucky i didnt get an infection. The owner was not at the park yet so my dad went to get his rifle and went back to the dam. So anyway those people were still sitting in the boat and the lion went into the long grass which they couldnt see from where they were. My dad was on the other side and he could see the lion. My dad started to aim for the lion but the people on the boat thought my dad was trying to shoot them, they thought i was dead or something and my dad had gone crazy. So they started up the boat and put it on full power and started spinning around trying to get away. :smiley36: By this time the owner had been notified and was on his way to the dam. He took the rifle from my dad and was having second thoughts about shooting the lion but the lion was coming towards him so he was forced to shoot it.
So thats about it hey. Oh and my parents took me back to the lions a few days after the attack so that i wouldnt have problems/nightmares etc in the future.
The End

Kim, I'm sure I've met you before, or my parents know your parents or something. I also lived in Gweru for some of my childhood. I'm not too sure, but your name rings a bell.
