The photographer might want to look into taking some trail cameras next time-only $200 instead of 2K -if things go pear shape.I read an article where a person had three trail cams out in a similar situation-one got chewed up by a hieana,still worked after that.

I imagine this tog will end up with enough royalties from the story and images to pay for a 5DIII.

The Lioness obviously knows quality when it presents its self.

Good thing he has photos to prove he's telling the truth, so the insurance won't accuse him of "lion".
