Canon is the preferred camera

Guess she didn't like being photographed. 
At least all she took was the camera, and not an arm, or a leg...little snack for later...

Clearly the photographer ticked the wrong box when ordering his lens. He meant 100-400L but checked 16-35L.

That's what happens when you try and photograph a lion with a wide angle lens. You have to get too close.
Next time, they might want to try using a 6D and shoot remotely with wifi. Or, get a 400mm or greater lens and shoot from the top of a Range Rover.

So we can deduce that the 5D2 is not sealed against lioness spittle.
The lens (16-35 f/2.8L) seemed to survive lion drool better.

We will see this picture again in Canon marketing material. Unless they are complete idiots of course.
Nobody disciplines those cats so they go totally off limits not respecting private property.
Could you sue her?

Does anyone else think this was a setup shot? Lion on the edge of what appears to be a gravel road, as in a wild animal park. Was it also taken with a wide angle lens?
The Lion is not very sleek and does not have smooth fur as I'd expect a wild one to have. Zoo animals often look a bit scraggly.

Nope, I'm a trusting type.
But now that you mention it, the background does look like an animal park, it's always difficult to mask as I know from my own zoo photography. I don't think the look of the animal itself can be interpreted in any direction though.

This seems in the wild to me. It is not true that wild lions would have smoother fur than captive ones. BUT I think the camera is photoshopped. But maybe not. I was shooting lions in Etosha and set up one camera on tripod outside my car at a waterhole. Some photo opportunity arose a point about 50 meters away and I drove there to get a photo with the second camera and after 5 minutes noticed that a lioness was steadily approaching the camera at the first location. I had to rush back/honk to get the lioness to back off. They are very inquisitive and playful.
