"LOXAHATCHEE - Years of sneaky visitors cracking open car windows in hopes of an intimate encounter with the king of beasts has caused Lion Country Safari to finally erect a fence between visitors and residents.
Roaming lions, warning signs and admonishing keepers couldn't persuade visitors to stay in their cars with their windows rolled up at the drive-through wildlife park. Some visitors even got out to feed the lions.
Officials at the Palm Beach County park have considered a fence for years, fearing a serious injury or a lawsuit. In November, they erected the barricade, the first in the park's 38-year history. It encloses the beasts where they can roam free on a 660 foot long island.
"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..."
