Vorster retrieved the camera, added, 'There are two huge teeth marks on the rubber focus rings of the lens and small teeth marks on the plastic lens hood, both of which I decided not to replace."

Wonder how the selfies and lion pride shots turned out.
(Thanks for sharing.)

So, the lions tried out the Canon, then returned it. Probably waiting for a Nikon to come their way. :)

Ah, isn't that cute. If one of those animals trips the shutter, PETA will be back in court. : )

No one has asked how she got these pics considering her camera had been confiscated.

These photos are great. Sorry about the camera, but the story will live on for a long time. And you have the proof to show for it.

That's the best placed Canon I have seen yet. Just like a Canon user, always trying to talk with their mouth full. Great Shots.

If the lions gave it up, they must not have liked it very much...

No they don't. They tasted it, and left it behind so that it could be retrieved. That would never have happened if it were a Nikon.

Great shots. I have seen them shared around the internet lately. Most folks making jokes that the Lions were Nikon or Sony fans. LOL Glad she got the gear back in working order. Cheers

Of course not the bite of the baby cub would have crushed it. LOL
