A mother has told of her family's lucky escape after their car caught fire in the lion enclosure at a safari park.
Helen Clements and her two children were about 100 yards away from the lions when the vehicle overheated and started to smoke.
Rangers rescued the trio and no visitors or animals at Longleat Safari Park were injured.
Mrs Clements said: "It could have been in the flamingos or the camels but no, it had to be in the lion enclosure."
