there's a group of them sitting a white lion over there. they can walk right up to the vehicle that you're sitting in. surprisingly surprisingly even after the deadly attack, parkgoers seem unphased. we see some people even now breaking park rules. you can see the car in front of us is driving through these enclosures with the windows wide open. it's incredible despite all of the warnings people are still willing to take those risks. when you're up close to them like this it is incredibly tempting because they're so peaceful and lying there sleeping. if they decided to go for you, they can get to you much quicker than you can put the window up. >> they're wild animals. >> the lion park issued this statement today. it is with great regret that this incident took place at lion park yesterday afternoon. safety is always our first priority. we have many signs that clearly state that all windows and doors should be closed and locked at all times. lions are predators. these animals should be handled and treated with great respect. when it comes t

. >> the person is still in the enclosure with the lion. ems will be holding back. >> and cared for my humans, cameras have captured plenty of close encounters. a family posted their close encounter on youtube. >> lock the door. >> lion opening the unlocked door to the car with his teeth. animal tourism is a huge business. guest farms like these are sprung up all over the place. giving tourists the chance to get closer than ever to nature's predators. >> these are wild animals. i tell people this is their home. you always work with respect when you're in the wild or at a zoo. there are wild animals. they are still wild animals. >> in 2010 robin roberts visited this same safari park where the american tourist was killed yesterday. you can see how close people interact with the animals. >> come and say hello to your daddy. >> oh, my goodness. you can just see the claws there. >> i see them just fine. >> here tour guide gets very close and comfortable with the big cats. >> but why do they allow you to go in there? >> because i'm seen as one of

this lion, not only the paw but the lion itself is getting in the car. >> it was crazy.it probably feels like it's forever but it was probably 15 seconds, i suppose. and my dad amazingly got my daughter out of the way and was holding her to one side. the lion bit him on the shoulder and was able to get its paws into the car and around his neck. >> oh, my god! >> then the next -- the next while was a bit crazy. i leant across and was punching the lion in the nose. i am not a very big guy. so i don't think it -- i think it looked at me with much amusement. you sort of realize that you're in massive trouble here. i went back and hit the gear lever down. luckily it was an automatic. it went straight into drive. that moved the car forward about half a meter, i suppose. with that half a meter moving forward, i think the lion lost its footing and actually released my dad and sort of fell out the window. i then hit the accelerator, drive off and the lion sort of walked back to where it came from like nothing had happened. >> that's incredible. were you yelling? was your daughter

you're going into the lion's den. >> he said, why don't you go and meet the lion handler.weet, you'll get some nice pictures. i thought great. that will be great. we're just off to get breakfast before i become the lion's breakfast. >> charlie doesn't realize how accurate he is. >> turned up at the lion handler's cage and there was a lion that looked enormous. i said that's not a baby. no, it's called baby lion. that's its name. charlie decides that despite his doubts, the shoot must go on especially after being reassured by the lion handler. >> i wasn't sure whether i should go in. you know, you see the size of it. it is sort of prowling up and down in its cage. i spoke to the lion handler. he's raised lions and leopards and hyenas. he said it's safe. i've got control over it. i can tell if it's in a bad mood and if it is, i wouldn't let you in. >> right before charlie steps into the cage, the lion handler gives him some unsettling advice. >> he says, if anything goes wrong, you can't run and you have to try to look like you're not scared. in i went and the door closed be

after all, there was no malintent on the part of the lion. >> the lion is doing what a lion does. >>one feline preddor. and she had cubs and was breeding as well. who knows who that might have protected the pride and amongst the pride the females do the protecting off spring. >> and if they would have followed the rules, this is a tragedy, and a young woman is dead and the big question is should parks like this exist? >> it is incredibly tragic and we should not make light of this. and this person was only exercising her curiosity but the truth is the rules are stated and in the vehicle it was stated and she was the south african guide and why did he let her have the window down. and when people can safely and wisely and refully connect with nature. the job as a wildlife buy ol jieft on the abc ocean mysteries has come about from childhood experiences as a zoo and when my dad was a cop at the zoo and those experiences allow me to be the experience and educator i am today and connecting with wildlife can promote environmental stewardship but you need to have the respect and follow the

once the lions jump in the window and that panic could scare a lion and when a lion is scared, they react aggressively. and that would be my opinion of what happened in there. >> what do you think of the news that the park is open and people are driving through the park. >> listen and be alert. you have to realize just because people tell people keep their windows closed. they will roll the windows down because they want a better photo. they will look at a lion 20 foot away and say it is not dangerous. but 20 feet for a lion is three- quarters of a second to close the gap. you shouldn't allow people who don't know lions to decide if they would like to or not follow the rule. >> that is 20 seconds. we are learning where the lion was coming from and whether or not the woman was leaning out of the window. and for a normal person who doesn't have experience with the large cats like you do you can see letting your guard down and so fascinated with the animals, that you want to grab a picture or be closer. you are someone who has been close to the animals. and for the general public what is the

the lion park is part of a multi-million-dollar south african tourist industry where lions are bred inallowed to drive their own vehicles through large enclosures where lions roam freely. tourists can even interact with the lions, allowed to hold and pet young lion cubs who grow up with little fear of humans. this latest incident has raised questions about just how safe unsupervised tours are in park where's lions are bred in captivity. one wildlife expert told me it is time to reassess them, but for now, the lion park remains open. >> rose: debora patta in johannesburg. thank you. in a moment, a former olympic athlete proves she is still a champion. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more.

two years ago a lion attacked brent tucker's family at the park.erview. brett, can you tell us what happened when your car was attackality this par -- attacked at this park because i understand your father had the window open to take a picture. >> i dropped it open to take a photograph through the top and i take a photograph and my dad saw a bird and he was looking through the binoculars for the bird and the next minute there was a crash and the next minute there what a looirn paw that -- a lion paw that got his paw in through the window and the window collapsed and the lioness got into the car. my father was able to get my daughter away. >> what do you do when the lion itself was getting into the car. >> it was crazy. it probably feels like it is forever but it was probably 15 seconds i suppose and my dad amazingly got my daughter out of the way and was holding her to one side and the lion bit him on the er and able to get both paws into the car and around his neck. and the next was a bit crazy and i leaned across and punching the lion in the nose

she is focusing on lions in front. meanwhile, she doesn't see that lion sneaking inside. that window been rolled up, that animal would have not been sensing smells and odors but with the window down, that protection goes away and it leaves you vulnerable. >> as simple as following the rules going forward? do you think that's the lesson to come out of this? >> it's also about respect. there is an opportunity when you go to a zoo -- for example, you can take your family living in new york to the bronx zoo and a chance for your children to connect with nature and science. you can go to this facility, which is really respected, and learn about the plight of lions in africa. you have to understand the rules. you have to play the game correctly and have a moment of stewardship and not tragedy like this one here. >> jeff corwin always great to see you. thank you so much. >>> coming up for us, a killer explains what he was thinking. the colorado movie theater shooter tells a doctor what was going through his mind as he shot his victims. >> i raised the shotgun and saw people were

lions.nd safe enough but just days ago this park was the scene of a gory accident. a female lioness attacked an american tourist through her open window killing her and injuring her driver. that part of the park is the only one closed off. inside enclosure one it's clearly afternoon nap time for this family. we are so close that you can see the bugs landing on their noses. it's tempting to open the window because they look so docile and sleepy and in the sun. if you did do that, it would take one of those lions to smell us or hear us and if it decided to charge, there would be nothing that we could do in those split seconds. as dusk approaches, so does dinnertime. the lions who earlier ignored us are suddenly inquisitive, playing, climbing and slowly surround our car. i don't know where it is. where is it? >> it's right here. >> reporter: it's hard to keep an eye on each lion. they move quickly and we check to make sure the doors are still locked. but suddenly -- whoa. my gosh. it's a lot sc
