Extraordinary (if a little traumatic) footage captured by unsuspecting tourists in South Africa’s Shamwari Game Reserve. To wit:
…a pair of lionesses surprised two blesboks running in their direction. To escape, a frightened blesbok jumped several metres from the ridge – only to be intercepted mid-flight…

Cub Cam

Of this RC car/GoPro experiment in cute-baiting, Australian photographer/adventurer Chris Bray sez:
While running one of our five 2-week photo safaris to Kenya in 2014, we attached a GoPro camera to a remote control car and drove it up to a lioness with cubs, stopping at a distance where they still showed no interest, and then jiggled the car around just enough to invoke the cubs curiosity. Two of the three cubs then came over and investigated it for 20min, before growing bored and tired and falling asleep back with mum.

From silly folk.
