A group of animal researchers decided to build a car, fixed with a camera, and drive it into a pride of lions in Botswana to see what kind of footage they would end up with. Nothing could have prepared them for what they captured! The men drove the remote controlled 4X4 buggy, also known as “Car L,” slowly into the pride and the lions were curious but cautious at first.
