Likely captured at Lion Country Safari, a pioneering drive-through “safari” experience where visitors could drive their own vehicles through open animal enclosures. The park opened in Irvine, California in 1970 and closed in 1984 following a series of animal escapes. The evolution of animal parks and wildlife attractions helped pioneer the cageless safari concept — immersive, drive-through wildlife experiences, that challenged the practice of Zoo “confinement.” Shot over the passenger side of the car, the windshield stickers are reassurance of the existence of a glass barrier between a pride of lions and red meat.
