Amusing/amazing anecdote about lionesses and tropical disease



Wildlife photographer Greg du Toit was so determined to capture the perfect image of wild lions drinking he sat submerged in their watering hole for three months.

The defiant photographer had endured a year of failed attempts at getting the right picture after building hides and digging trenches near the animals' drinking spot.

In a final desperate effort, the 32-year-old decided to take the plunge and climb into the murky pool with his camera and ended up contracting several tropical diseases.

These are not my pictures, I did not find this article first (my brother-in-law Ben did), and if Mr. du Toit asks me to remove his pictures from my blog, I will, and then ask him out. Assuming his parasites are all really dead.

Those photos are amazing! I would definitely make sure the parasites are dead, though. I bet he really enjoyed showers.
