It's actually a kind of gruesome story. I wonder if she was on top?

The link doesn't work, I don't think -- now it goes to a small image that just goes to this site's page of the day. And the articles are all in Russian, which I don't read. (The status bar shows English translations of the links, but they don't really convey much information.)

Sorry, it should work now. Don't know how where that other link came from.

Oh my it sure does. Yikes!

You're a very disturbed individual.

Was her name Thisbe? Gruesome it may be... but what a similarity: two lovers meet in the woods, are set upon by a lion, the guy runs away and comes back to find his ladylove devoured.

Life imitates Shakespeare yet again.
(yes, i know that's not exactly how the story goes)

Note the ecologicaly pious subtitle:
"Increase in lion attacks symptom of destruction of habitat".

And not - for example - "Nature, red in tooth
and claw"...

How may lion attacks would there be if the habitat
were quite destroyed and lions extinct?

what's most amusing about that is when you compare it to media treatment of unprovoked shark attacks on humans. they try their damnedest to avoid the fact that severe limits on shark fishing, and other species protections we've put in place have led to a drastic increase in the shark population... which has led to a drastic increase in unprovoked attacks.
