Tourist gets out of his vehicle to film a lion.

You can guess the rest...

I feel bad for the fact that his family had to witness it though..

I would hope that if I were in ever in a similar situation, I would have the presence of mind to crank up the car and start running over lions to try to prevent the guys family from having to watch daddy get eaten.

But who knows until you are there...

OMG!

being eaten alive is the worst thing I could ever imagine.
that's nighmarish. when did this happen is there any story to it?

**Capster78** · 02-13-2006, 04:31 PM

If someone would have had a gun in the glove box, he may have had a chance.

I dunno anything about it.

I found it while I was looking for a video that one of my customers was involved in where a lion charges him, his wife, and a guide.

He wins in the end becasue he has a gun, but the lion actually runs him over in the process..

It's really intense.

It looks to me like really old footage judging by the cars.

Looks staged to me.

Here is the only dialog I've found on it.

The other video they are talking about at the bottom is my buddy's video.

It's funny watching those dumbasses talking about something they have no idea about.

**jking** · 02-13-2006, 05:29 PM

Ok, I found my customer's video.

The real story on this is that he went to Africa to hunt cape buffalo or some shit. Lion hunting is usually illegal in the area where he was at.

It just so happened that while he was there, the lion you see in this video killed a game wardon the day before. Once a lion becomes a man eater, then they are legal fair game.

My customer's outfitter caught wind of the now available hunt, and here we go-

That's funny you say that, becasue before they went out that day, the guide kept driving home the point that if the lion were to charge, wait until he's close enough to make the shot for sure.

I had a longer version of this vid on my office computer, one that shows them in the 15 or so seconds after it was over, and the first thing Bryan said to the guide was, "was that close enough for you?" He was very cool about it all things considered.

Hunters will find it interesting that the guide was using an open sight rifle, which was exactly what was needed for that last shot. You'll notice in the slow motion replay that the guide shoots the lion right as he is leaping, and the lions legs come our from under him like he was short ciruited.

That saved Bryan's life. Obviously.

In the Faces of Death video (don't remember which one) a grizzly or large brown bear kills and eats a guy who was taking pictures of it. 2 cars were in it. The guy behind was filming the car in front where the photographer was. Lady driving the photog car is throwing bread to the bear. Mr. Bear is happy and content sitting there being fed. The guy gets out of the car and is taking pictures of the bear over the roof, over the hood, and then from behind the bear as the lady is telling him the whole time, "Honey, I'm running out of bread!" Bear looks around...no more bread...snatches him up and fucks him up on tape.

Actually, pretty funny, except they probably killed the bear later.

That reminds me of a video I had a few years ago of a news story where a black bear wound up in a tree in someone's front yard in the middle of town.

Animal control came out to get it down, and what they did was put a trampoline under the bear, and then shot him with a tranquilizer dart.

The fucking bear fell, hit the trampoline, and bounced up higher than where he began, and then came down and landed face first in the yard.

It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

The bear was ok
