King of the wildlife cameramen

THE wildlife cameraman, Simon King, has been in many a tight situation.

An African diet can play havoc with a European tummy, nor are seasoned wildlife professionals immune from its attacks. Simon, taken short on one occasion, was forced to leave the safety of his Land Rover and head for some bushes. Once inside, he was startled by a deep spine-chilling growl; a male lion had been sleeping in the thicket. Fortunately, the King of Beasts took a benign view of the King of cameramen and departed.

All’s well that ends well and there was a bonus; this close encounter of the turd kind immediately cured the bowel complaint.
