A few people have asked about the striking on young lions. This is a minute long video in which I mentioned the spots on young cubs. I’m not sure what the evolutionary advantage is to young lions having spots. It might be that as they get older their ideal camofluage would be tawny, rather than mottled. Perhaps because they would hunt more in open savanna as they get older, rather than hiding in thick bush, as cubs do.

Here's a little video bit about where we live (short). There are no lions in this (sleeping or otherwise). I like to think that the skew horizon and the jerky panning give it an arty flavour. Sadly they were completely unintentional and just make me feel a bit queasy. By the way, if anyone out there knows how to spell soh-li-low-kwee, then you deserve a prize.

 For a change I thought I might introduce some humour into how I represent my work. The following is just me rambling to the camera while watching some sleeping lions. Disclaimers: I don't ever find lions boring, and… don’t take me seriously. Always go to far-away places to do things that you are passionate about, that might not seem all that sensible at the time.

 Hi all, here is a short clip of some radio-tracking. De Niro was back at the trailer so I’m afraid its just Ernest and me.
