Did you ever see the YT vid of the photographer who got out of his family’s car, with wife and baby still inside, to get “better shots” of 3-4 lionesses? They attacked and ate him alive, on camera. It was beyond awful, with his wife and child going apoplectic and another cameraman trying to “shoo” the huge cats away from their kill. I won’t go into details, but after watching it 3x several years ago, I can still close my eyes and visualize it all. His family sued the jungle park for his stupidity; legal outcome unknown to me.

“... ever see the YT vid...

I searched for it and found it. OMG! Yes... it is awful. What sort of infuriated me is the fact that this man’s “I am a professional wildlife photographer wanna be” probably scarred his wife, 9 year old and two year old forever. I don’t think any amount of therapy would help those children especially. Did you see the last photographs? It was a lioness showing her teeth just before he got jumped. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Apparently, that film is a fake.
