A tourist who was mauled by a lion which ripped off part of his arm after getting into his safari tent in Tanzania has won damages.
Patrick Fourgeaud, 64, was attacked by the adult male animal during a trip in the Ruaha National Park in August 2015.
His wife Brigitte, 63, had woken to find the animal sniffing at her back, before it pounced on her husband.
The animal was eventually scared away, leaving Mr Fourgeaud, of Mont-Saxonnex, France, with serious injuries, having to undergo multiple operations to his arm.
Mr and Mrs Fourgeaud, who both also struggle with mental health problems as a result of their ordeal, sued UK-based Africa Travel Resource Ltd for damages and, although the firm denied responsibility, it has now agreed to settle, a court heard.
