On the prowl...

This is probably one of my favorite videos that I took while in South Africa. Unlike the other lion video, which was taken at a lion park (more or less a glorified zoo), this lion was actually spotted out in the wild, in its natural habitat, at Kruger National Park. We actually spotted two lions at the time this video was shot. This lioness was keeping watch and blocking the escape route as another lioness was circling around to make a kill for dinner. Pretty sweet stuff.

Anyway, I think you'll enjoy this video. Notice that the lion is only a few feet from our car, and WE ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN! Not only that, but at some point in the video I start whistling to provoke the lion. What can I say...I'm a big dumb animal, folks!

And then there were lions...

My buddy, Ted, and I got to spend an afternoon chillin' with some lions on a little mini-safari just outside of Johannesburg. Enjoy the video!

Lion Park: Part 2

Proof that lions are ferocious and could bite your head off...literally.

Proof that lions are just over-sized kitties.

On the prowl...

Is that lion sticking his tongue out at me?!

Aslan? Is that you?

We made friends with this giraffe.

He had the nastiest tongue ever.

In case you missed it before, watch us feed the giraffe doritos here.

Lion Park: Part 1

Another HUGE highlight from the time Ted spent here was going to the Lion Park in Johannesburg. Enjoy the pics.

Petting a lion cub!

Probably one of the coolest experiences ever...


This is the first time that I have ever seen a giraffe sitting down!

Cheetahs...


First, Ted stuck his tongue out, rocker style...

Then the lioness did her best "Ted" impersonation!
