A tourist in Zimbabwe was using an outdoor shower for taking his bath when lions pounced on him and tore him to pieces. His wife who was present at the scene watched helplessly. The spot on the Zambesi River is a popular tourist destination but the attacks by the lions has been on the increase. The reason is the loss of their natural habitats coupled with the dwindling stocks of food due to random wild life poaching which robs the predators of their food and make them aggressive.
