Woman Rescued From Lion in Florida Park Attack
Emma Bates, 72, survived a mauling at Lion County Safari after a 400 pound male lion named Reba attacked her enclosure. Dennis Pruitt, 20, an employee, beat the animal away with a rake as Bates fled to her car bleeding but alive. Bates remained hospitalized with a broken jaw and facial injuries. The park has a history of attacks since opening in 1967, including a January fatal goring of an attendant by a cape buffalo.
