Photographer Chris McLennan has always been interested in seeing how predators live in reserves. Moreover, to see this not from the window of an impregnable jeep, when the animals scatter in fear, but at the moment when the pets are not even aware of the invasion. This dream was realized with the help of a Nikon D800E camera mounted in a radio-controlled car.
A small trick made it possible not only to look beyond the fence of the reserve, but also to take a bunch of colorful photographs in which African lions are curiously examining an unknown moving object, trying to paw it and even try it out.
The photographer himself is delighted with the resulting photo shoot. As for the ferocious lions, modern technology was too tough for them. Or the lion simply did not like the taste of the plastic, and he decided to have a snack with more familiar prey. However, neither the camera nor the radio-controlled car suffered significant damage during this race. Lion bite marks and saliva don't count.
What can I say, the equipment was clearly more fortunate than the heroes of the "Exciting Duels" photo session. There clearly was not without blood. But this bloodshed, unlike human hunting, is dictated exclusively by natural instinct and one of the conditions for survival in the wild.
