<strong>haha!
</strong>When I was in Kenya, we had an incident at Lake Nakuru with a baboon entering our vehicle and scaring the you-know-what out of me. He was sitting on my 5D Mark II, but he didn’t eat it. Instead, he stole our cookies and snacks and bolted. If you know my friend and travel companion <a href="http://www.facebook.com/EthanMeleg?fref=ts" target="_blank">Ethan Meleg</a>, you’d know taking his cookies is about the worst thing you can do to him.</p>
<p>FYI: Don’t leave car doors open at Lake Nakuru.</p>

<p><strong>Lion eating a 5D Mark II & 16-35 f/2.8L II
</strong>It turns out Ed Hetherington had the same sort of thing happen and sacrificed his Canon EOS 5D Mark II and EF 16-35 f/2.8L II for some fun photographs. The good and bad news? The lens lived, but the camera is touch and go.</p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Ed Writes:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I brought a remote control and a small stand to Zimbabwe so that I could capture some animal images from a unique “on the ground perspective”. I used the setup for some images of elephants and African wild dogs and most animals ignored the camera after or at most gave it a quick glance.</p></blockquote>
