A Mozambican guy is gravely injured by a stray lion.

A 40-year-old man narrowly missed death after being mauled by a lion in Gaza, Mozambique's southern region.

The person was seriously injured and is currently being treated at a hospital.

The lion that mauled the man had escaped from the Limpopo National Park, according to a local administrator.

He said park inspectors and local district government officials will begin taking steps to scare away and tame stray animals that have caused alarm in the community in recent days.

In Mozambique, conflicts between wildlife and humans are prevalent.

A lion was slain earlier this year after it killed three people near a reserve in the northern Niassa province.

The most common wildlife involved in the conflict has been lions, crocodiles, hippos, buffalos, elephants, and hyenas.
