Big cat strike

A lion attack is an instance of a lion assaulting a person or animal, whether in the wild, at a zoo, or involving captive lions.

The phrase appears in news reports and wildlife documentaries: Three lion attacks have been reported in the region this year.

It also describes defensive or predatory behavior toward livestock: Farmers installed lights to deter lion attacks on their cattle.
