A frisky woman was mauled to death by a lion as she made love to her boyfriend outdoors in Zimbabwe, it was reported.
Sharai Mawera died after the big cat pounced while she was enjoying a romantic moment in the bush with her unnamed partner.
My Zimbabwe news website reported that the predator attacked the couple at a secluded spot in the bush near the northern town of Kariba.
Ms Mawera's boyfriend, who has not been identified, is believed to have jumped up and fled in the nude when the lion lunged forward.
A source told the newspaper that the young woman died at the scene.
He said: "Unfortunately the woman was mauled to death by the lion, but her boyfriend managed to escape naked".
A friend of the couple told My Zimbabwe that Ms Mawera had worked at the local market and that her partner was a fisherman.
The friend said: "He is a fisherman and he used to often meet at the same spot with Sharai, who was a vendor.
The two were romping when the incident occurred. In fact, they were doing it sideways when the lion came from behind and roared.
The guy managed to escape before stopping at a distance where he witnessed his companion being attacked.
He later rushed to the road seeking help naked, wearing only a condom and people ignored his pleas for help since he was running around screaming naked they assumed he had mental health issues. The article also mentioned there have been other bodies found in the same area".
My Zimbabwe reported that the terrified man managed to raise the alarm.
Local police and armed rangers from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority rushed to the scene.
The source said: "Cops and officers attended the scene and fired a single shot before getting to the spot.
The woman had already been killed. She had bloody bruises all over her body. Her neck and tummy had been mauled".
Rangers launched a hunt for the lion following the tragedy, amid concerns that the same animal may have killed a local man who recently disappeared.
The remains of the victim were later found on the outskirts of the town, which lies near the Zambezi river.
Police believe the man, who has not been named, was mauled by a lion as he walked home from a nightclub.
Zimbabwe's state-controlled Herald newspaper reported that officers believed that the fact the woman killed was mauled rather than eaten, suggested the same lion could have been responsible for both attacks and not overly hungry since devouring part of its first victim.
The newspaper added: "Residents of the town are now living in fear as the lions are still roaming freely and are yet to be caught".
Hmmm...sorry oh! Click here to read more and viewer discretion is advised please, as photos on this site can be graphic. They have no censorship most of the time and there is a photo there of a lion and a lioness feasting on a body.
