A quick call to the local police station, and two cops arrived, through a few firework bangers, and the lion ran off. Dett station is in the middle of a game park (the biggest in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) . There were a number of times when wildlife entered the town. Normally antelope or other small animals looking for water. Not too many of the bigger cats, buy quite a few Elephants. They liked to steal from the veg gardens. We just made a big noise with bagging on tins with sticks which they did not like and promptly departed. I spent a year as a fireman stationed in Dett.

Wow. Never had that problem here! The only dangerous beasts around here are morning commuters running late for work. Best to avoid them.
