Lions share thrills of the hunt

Experts behind a pioneering device aiming to give lions in captivity the thrill of hunting their prey are hoping to put it into production.

The LionDrover, an all terrain vehicle which has been decorated with zebra stripes, was designed to replicate many aspects of a carnivore hunt.

It is hoped that the LionDrover, which was launched at Blair Drummond Safari Park in Stirlingshire, will encourage hunting behaviour only seen on the African plains.

The small remote-controlled vehicle, which has a top speed of 30 MPH, is an upgraded design of a previous model, the Lionrover.
