Although this may not be a nice thing to say, but the fact remains that some people are thickheaded. Around the world, there have been reports of how tourists in game parks and wildlife national reserves escape or get injured by animals not all because they take animals for granted.

Recently this website also carried a story of how a giraffe smashed a car window in fright. Now in another freakish incident that took place in Netherlands, a family of at least five including an infant was chased helter-skelter by cheetahs in a Dutch safari park.

2Stupidity or ignorance or both

How such an incident even transpired is beyond comprehension because one fails to wonder why a family including a mom with an infant strapped to her would wander out of their car in an open wildlife safari park. Is that absurd or just plain stupidity.

The incident took place in Beekse Bergen African wildlife safari park which is a drive-through park. Visitors are strictly prohibited from venturing out of their vehicles. This family, on the other hand, had some bright ideas and decided to stop their car and take a stroll. They thought it was all clear but they did not realize they were being watched from afar.
