Any ideas as to what the female's problem may be? (She's alive)

Doesn't look like a vehicle accident!?

They give birth very privately. She is obviously pregnant. Two male lion were also in the road a little way away!

Maybe she did not have the strength to hide? Do animals have premature births?

This email doing the rounds maintains the pic to have been taken in Kruger...
