OT I’m a mutt

I was off into the bush to film an event which ran late. Very early the next morning on my return home I drove through an amazing ,beautiful area I was driving very slow admiring the scenery and came across a small herd of impala and springbok right in front of me grazing together and in an amazing attractive scene to boot
Now you never see these two guys together so with somewhat chameleon like movements I set up the camera “thinking life she is too good to me” a kudu steps into the scene just to make it perfect ……. Battery flat . no problem . second cam . that’s right . flat

Just at that realization all the antelope bleated and shook their heads in disgust and walked off

On the upside my tripod not’s broken but my head hurts in a few places

no matter how late it gets I will always recharge the batteries in future

It could've been worse when a lion joins the party. Checkout this crazy guy take on a lion with a toilet roll.

By the look of that guy I think it was for the lion :)

Okay, I've always thought it was cool to swim with sharks...but lions? That is a crazy video!

Sorry to hear about the batteries, I've learnt that lesson several times as well, but never missed any Discovery worthy footage. Feel your pain Rory!
