When you're a wildlife photographer, the goal is to blend in with your surroundings, so that you don't scare off the animals 😂

was he’s helping the one that is on his head get some extra height so she can see better and then I thought the one that gets in his face, hope it doesn’t bite him. Otherwise pretty cool.

There was a wildlife photographer in Africa, I think, taking pics of a lioness & cubs. He was closest, with a still camera & a person with a video camera was behind him.

After a couple minutes the cubs noticed the still photographer & wandered over to him. He was laying on his stomach & one of the cubs got on his back, then another, & the cubs started playing, pouncing on each other, rolling off his back & jumping back on him. For several minutes he had lion cubs jumping & pouncing & rolling all over him, playing with abandon & having a blast, while their mom watched.

I've thought many times what an incredible awesome experience that must have been, to be out in the wild & have lion cubs play & tumble all over you. I doubt I will ever have an experience that can equal that.
