Lion sniffs cameraman's crotch | Crazy Cameraman Ep7

[@sethaus7584]

That's one beautiful lioness.

[@deniseyoung4494]

Yesssss!!! She was gorgeous! The pride as a whole planned that whole scene.

[@xephyre6955]

Yep. We should bang her. Orgy style.

[@MuhammadAwais-YesB]

X SkyChaser X I’m gonna jump out a window now.

[@huskiehuskerson5300]

They all look alike so

[@Tenchi707]

She's hot, I would definitely go for it

[@corkwell]

That moment when she turned around to come back the look in his eyes was "so this is how I die."

[@garbanzobaen]

the cameraman was playing the mannequin challenge.

[@chrisdab-]

At least it wasn't the ground temperature challenge.

[@stephjans6411]

lioness never felt threatened by any means by Graham all those months/years he was/is there taking photos. so he gained the "no enemy" status,

[@yuck4u]

+vic Jas - but the bigger question is how did he gain the "not meat/food" status?

[@briefmarigold4127]

@@yuck4u The list of reasons about why predators won't Attack certain animals: 1. Permanent aliance (you take care of something mine, I take care about something yours). 2. Predators generally don't Attack watch other. 3. A predator won't Attack another predator if it feels like the other predator is superior. 4. Temporal aliance (common threat/prey). 5. Affection. 6. No need to kill (already full, a high effort-low reward situation, general disadvantage, etc.).

[@theartsyzoologist]

@@yuck4u They aren’t typically used to predation on tall bi pedal figures (Aside from the Ostrich) most of the time they see humans seated in vehicles, so they’ve likely learned to associate humans with vehicles and often see us as an extension of a big vehicle unit, that is harmless hence why they often rest in the shade of safari vehicles etc. Had he stepped out or been a further distance from the vehicle as a visibly singular unit.. I can pretty much guarantee you that this situation would have been a lot different. Just like a herd of zebra or what have you, the moment a lone zebra or buffalo wanders and isolates itself from the the larger herd, they become an easy clear target.

[@luizcadu]

The lioness just survived an encounter with the world's most dangerous predator!

[@tomtonka1915]

What an amazing video. I was legitimately terrified for this poor man. What an unbelievably risky scenario to find yourself in.

[@Sonicgott]

Well, you stood your ground, non-threatening, which is the best thing to do. Beautiful lioness.

[@talhafarooq6813]

Love that as soon as the lioness walks away, birds start chirping as if they're congratulating graham

[@kevincito946]

Lol I held my breath the entire time. This man held his own, good job, m8.

[@joansmith3296]

did he bring extra underwear?

[@Miftahromadani]

HAHAHAH

[@Noovil25]

My heart was racing even as I watched that..phew

[@satorami8023]

look the big smile on his face when she left 🤣🤣

[@scaresoft]

Love the relief on his face at 1:40 !

[@denisemontgomery5600]

WOW! I was holding my breath watching as the lioness got closer! Amazing.

[@ThyPeaceMaker]

That's amazing how standing dead still keeps them from showin intrest. It seems like their mentality is... show me respect and you will be respected.

[@helena1uk438]

Lol the Relief on your face after the lioness walks away that could have been bad But I'm glad it turned out ok and yous are having a laugh bout it now !!

[@soulfullofmetal]

I wish more people could go into the wild with a camera and not a rifle!!!

[@strmhendrix2582]

Well, not a rife, but a handgun just to be safe. Don't forget that these are wild animals and a friendly interaction might turn into a bloodbath very quickly

[@fellovercliff4525]

The look on your face said it all lol'' Well done!

[@moxiedrapo2391]

Whoa…. What an encounter!!! The lioness obviously doesn’t feel threatened by him🤣🤣🤣

[@PhysiqueUltra]

oh she knew u were there my friend. but motion peaks interest. glad u stood still. also glad it wasn't a male.

[@deniseyoung4494]

don gambrell exactly! Lions are smart and intelligent. They planned to check him out.

[@samimotag]

I love the Earth Touch videos, especially the series in the African savannah.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Did anyone else notice the tick on the lioness's mouth? Poor thing. Wild creatures are prone to getting all kinds of parasites. However, she looked very healthy in every other respect. Beautiful.

[@PAULLONDEN]

+Katherine Uribe Did you mean that >1:25 ? That seems to be an extension of her lower lip or a cyste of some kind. If that was a tick, it was a suicidal one, so close to a spot where it easily could be wiped or licked off....Anyway, you would be surprised how many 'non wild'creatures are prone to get the most creepy parasites....

[@KatherineUribe-1]

+PAULLONDEN Wild lions are afflicted by all kinds of parasites, internal as well as external. They're very hearty creatures. The ticks like to get close to the eyes and mouth; the skin in closer, not so much fur to contend with.

[@744padrino]

One of the many things that many people dont valorate about nature films and photos is this.......The high Risk!! Thanks to all people who report to us info about our Planet.

[@safarirob]

This was filmed in the Moremi game Reserve in Botswana's Okavango Delta, where rifles or weapons of any sort are not allowed. If the lioness had chosen to attack, there is nothing that Graham could have done about it. I know this because I know this pride of lions very well, and have done for many years. I'm afraid you are wrong richingle1

[@BlackLance1]

he was scared like hell xD

[@jung1613]

I wish there were more videos like this one. These are the videos that intrigues me

[@wallomullins9339]

fantastic clip, incredible composure

[@diannecox7187]

The joys of being a photographer in Africa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️🦁🦁🦁

[@drivernjax]

I would ask if you were nervous, but the laughter after the lioness left answered that question. I am wondering how you were able to take a breath. I would have passed out from holding mine.

[@Carl-Romero]

The cameraman really never dies

[@matshapirimalesforever1821]

aww he looks so scared.. but I can see why, Thats a whole lot of kitty!

[@i.bendigas6856]

Ai Chan And a whole lot of cuteness.

[@matshapirimalesforever1821]

lol

[@i.bendigas6856]

Ai Chan I will take that sweet thing home:-)

[@stargod3064]

The lion doesn’t sniff his crotch lmao it just checks out the bag next to him

[@rolandwantens4910]

The lioness was not sniffing his croth. She was admiring the size of his equipment!

[@GetOutsideYourself]

On my Okavango safari, I photographed a lioness from about 4m away, at ground level, hanging out of the landcruiser, moving as slowly as possible, when she noticed me, perked up and for an instant, looked like she was going to pounce. I just about shat my pants, even though in the end the lioness didn't even get up. I can only imagine how freaked this photographer was, or maybe not, since he clearly has much more experience than I.

[@iljung4096]

After many years he lost lots of his hair. thank you for sharing your video and it is lucky that the lioness passed on. I watched that youtube long time ago.

[@leotbs]

His face "I can't move" is the best!

[@Alhamdulillah.e.rabil.alameen]

You guys are very brave, I couldn't put myself in that position.

[@GatsuKS]

More like mentally ill rather than brave

[@bushidowarrior4917]

This is what it sometimes take in order to be a brilliant photographer !! Fantastic......

[@tedcleveland8488]

He won the mannequin challenge

[@Gasoline85]

"HELP! I'M BEING SEXUALLY HARASSED BY A LIONESS!!"

[@gabiballetje]

What we in the Netherlands call a 'broekpoepmomentje', or 'time to your pants moment'.

[@courtneyquillen8667]

OMG! I'd faint if I had his job as a wildlife photographer and as he states he has permission to get out of the vehicle! Just one wild day where he didn't expect to be in a situation of that sort! But my god she's a beautiful lion! Glad he's alright though!

[@ejicon]

I really like that you're still using Final Cut 7. :) Great video by the way.

[@iovannymillan8466]

That lioness could of made him a Unich.. That's why he wiped away a that tear at the end.

[@ihatepeoplewhoabuseanimals6811]

He was totally exposed! That is a foolish thing to do.

[@earthtouchtv]

ihatepeoplewhoabuseanimals Hi there, obviously it was never Graham's intention to end up in the situation he found himself in, however, he was not expecting the lioness to head in his direction and was left with no time to get back into the vehicle before the big cat reached him. His only option was to stand perfectly still.

[@ihatepeoplewhoabuseanimals6811]

Earth Touch, Nonetheless, whether he stays in that vehicle, that lion could have easily snatched him from it. The vehicle does not have a roof and doors to keep the lion from grabbing him. It is still reckless to be driving that type of vehicle in the jungle. Fortunately, the lion was not as curious and hungry at that time. He would have been devoured by that lion or any lions around the vicinity. He needs to respect the space of wild animals especially predators.

[@earthtouchtv]

ihatepeoplewhoabuseanimals We understand your concern, however, Graham is an experienced cameraman who has spent many hours working in wild. Our crews obviously have filming permits and the vehicles are adapted for this purpose and are perfectly safe (we have never lost a crew member!). We can assure you that our crews always respect the wild animals that they film, but unpredictable wildlife is part of the job. This incident is very much an isolated one and incidents like this do not occur regularly.

[@soldiergeneral6410]

Earth Touch People often don't understand that certain jobs involve specific risks. This is just one of them. One shouldn't assume without additional evidence that professionals are employing poor techniques or practices.

[@soldiergeneral6410]

Earth Touch Oh also his name says it all he is just looking for attention...

[@spenyboyfly]

Love your photos

[@earthtouchtv]

Thanks, Francisco!

[@timeispreciousliveasgoodas8652]

Cats and boxes

[@saquibs20]

He should thank God he survived.

[@stevenhair6156]

Note to self: Wear depends in case I end up in this situation again..

[@fbaraglia]

I love that work you do and the pictures are nice too

[@Cowcotin]

Lion to man : Don't worry, I'm not hungry for the moment.

[@skjonnyr]

if I fits I sits- the lioness wants a box too

[@taintedlove245]

Knowing my luck, the lion would’ve attacked me anyways

[@lgreygoosel]

Very lucky to be alive

[@DougAlder]

Well played sir - well played

[@leangelodemorte]

That was gross but ridiculously funny , I actually laughed out loud :D

[@SussexUFOS]

Why is everyone going on about the cameramen shooting the Lion? there are no shots? and I doubt very much that they would of done that unless absolutely necessary and it would most likely be a warning shot. The guy was standing absolutely still , he did the right thing. These guys know what they are doing. They are not stupid.

[@AngelaJeanBarr]

Thank you for the story and the video....breathtaking. :-)

[@earthtouchtv]

The lesser-spotted TROLLOLOLOLOL bird.

[@drusalem]

'pretty nerve racking'???????? you have balls of steel my friend :)

[@jaynouby]

Brave cameraman

[@PhysiqueUltra]

one lioness can take down a buffalo man.

[@deniseyoung4494]

YES! I've seen that happen!

[@bcabrera971]

I would’ve just shit myself honestly.

[@PaliAha]

Now THAT would definitely cause SHRINKAGE.

[@andfan18]

dude she was waiting for you to make a move, should have given your digits yo

[@frang.r6356]

si , me gustaria saber cuantos hombre armados tenia detras de la camara.

[@steve55551000]

Well done for keeping your cool

[@samuel6287]

She wanted to know what steel smells like

[@hariharidas4693]

RESPECT for both aimals

[@jenifer1638]

Is it possible that the jeep behind the man made him look bigger, so the lioness didn't think he's prey? And what will happen if it's a male lion, I wonder...

[@earthtouchtv]

Hmmm, interesting hypotheses, Jenifer. The vehicle may have helped deter the lioness, however, we think that this cat was probably just curious more than anything else - she wasn't actively hunting and seemed more interested in the box at Graham's feet than anything else.

[@jenifer1638]

Earth Touch Well, can't say the same for male lion though...

[@earthtouchtv]

Yes, it's possible that a male lion would have reacted a bit differently...

[@lesrach3]

Earth Touch I don't think the lioness was truly interested in the box at all. She was just pretending to be more interested in the box to get closer, without causing fight or flight mode in Graham, and get his smell. Although he was brave, had the lion went went straight to Graham to smell him, he might have reacted. She looked like she was trying to avoid escalation of conflict while checking you out. At the end when she turned her back to you was very interesting. I'm not sure if that was her trying to claim you, or make you more comfortable by letting you know she's not hyper fixated on you, or both. Either way, what an experience that must have been for Graham lol.

[@simonrobins7168]

The Hero of Canton, what are you on about?!

[@morningglorify]

Amazing!

[@AxelStein1]

Wow - Amazing!

[@mohussein150]

that sweater on the bag has my sweat . the Earth is very beautiful Don't play with Her

[@cdjo23]

I have a strong feeling that it'd be more like a lioness chew, than a lioness blo.

[@UAirsoft]

Those birds are laughing at him lol

[@MasterTypoDemon]

"And you keep still because you think that maybe her visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - she'll lose you if you don't move."

[@TheGreatSteve]

This is all fine but your vehicle has no doors? (to keep lions out)

[@als9868]

so you threw those underwear away i'm assuming

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Have to admit that I am full of admiration for your cool and presence of mind, in such an intense predicament. I have been frozen (not from fear, but in order not to alarm or disturb an Elephant Bull), but that was when I was very much inside the vehicle. Respect !

[@FuzzyWuzzyAnipals]

I think I will stick with taking pictures of bunnies and ground squirrels...

[@Positivectrl]

she had no reason to attack - not food, not threat

[@305tzar]

He had no other choice.Talking about nerves of steel.

[@LegoPythor]

Cameraman always strong

[@trinisocababy17]

Lion:Mmmmmm....beef >_< Cameraman:ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit

[@BrianAndersonTT]

Is it that she only was curious to approach because she did not notice the cameraman at first?

[@ducheau100]

he seems to be intrigued by this. perhaps he was looking for something smut related from the lion

[@CRN-68]

Is it suddenly very hot, there, or is it just you ?? 🦁🦁🦁

[@WuhSuhDood]

lol thank you, and sorry for that disturbing visual. I guess we now know why the lion came over to him and then walked away haha....... cause of all the shit everywhere

[@keeturbo]

That could have gone really really bad.

[@i.bendigas6856]

keeturbo I don't think so. The cameraman is too kind to hurt that kitty:-)

[@keeturbo]

Oh my bad I forgot that's just a kitty(Lol).

[@i.bendigas6856]

keeturbo Even. She may sleep in my arm tonight :-)

[@briandelosreyes13]

that was a lioness

[@abdelhaksallaoui5262]

Why did you choose to ride a car like this one !!! No protection !! I'm happy that you didn't pee in your pants !! You were so affraid !

[@paulroscoe4315]

Time to call it a day and have a pint at the local pub

[@rivafussball6719]

Wow!!!

[@kerplunkboydotNET]

2:12 "You were gonna be nervous if there was a wild lioness..." NERVOUS?!?? I get nervous in a freaking bank line, or seeing somebody in need of help. In that particular situation I will turn white as a ghost, shit my pants, cry like a little girl and probably faint right after

[@Youthere101]

Go Benj - legend!

[@ButterOnMyBiscuit]

He should have waved his arms in the air and started screaming

[@debraahern897]

And getting eaten
