- Wildlife photographers without a doubt have one of the coolest jobs in the world. Every professional wildlife photographer will tell you that the secret to capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments is patience and being at the right place at the right time. However, sometimes there's just no secret as the animals once in a while tend to do the unexpected and end up surprising the photographer. Some photographers were lucky enough to encounter their dearest animal friends from up close. Perhaps a little too close on occasion.

Lion just wanted to ask if the cameraman has games on his phones
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻🤣
Lioness*
Jaa genau 🤣🤣👍
@@Blue_Nova707 I was referring to the species name.
I'll say it. THE CAMERA MAN NEVER DIES.
Well, these ones are just fun to watch, but nobody talks about all the times where things did not go this well, sometimes even with fatal results.
Somewhat true from a distance
Myself filming well had a video cameraa yeah I didn't in 1990$ it's also cool to do
Because dead people cant upload their footage
It think it is truer that if the cameraman DOES die. The camera usually does too....
Thumbnail.
Lion: hey food can we talk for a moment?
Dude, I almost died with this comment 😅
Lion: was my acting good enough?
I love how the Meerkats use the humans as stools to get a higher lookout perspective lol.
These were all good. The wolves were the most fascinating because they showed such happiness. The howls were perfect in that primal moment, enriching both species with surprisingly heartwarming contact.
Some people's natural reaction would be to run as quickly as possible. I was one of the fastest runners in our high school but still couldn't outrun my 1-year-old wiener dog! You need to plan ahead if you're going to be in the wild and may be forced into outrunning predators, by taking along two or three friends that you know can't run as fast as you can. 😁
@@billolsen4360 HAHAHA! That last bit about taking along "friends" who can't run as fast.
She wasn't feeding them...
@@billolsen4360 Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.
The wolf part is a lie. They werent unexpected visitors or exactly wild. The video creator leaves out the part where they are in a wolf enclosure and the woman is a scientist and the wolves handler/psuedo pack member. I hate videos like this that make up lies like this. Makes me question what hes narrating about the other clips as well.
I love how appreciative the photographers look during these.
Its literally their dream to be this close and not be harmed, like the cheetah one is SOOOO AWESOME. That one and the wolf one are def my favourites.
The big male gorilla:
“Cmon guys that’s enough. You’ve had your fun, now let’s go. You know we aren’t even supposed to mess with these creatures…they’ll become dependent on us!”
😂
The lion curiously sniffing the photographer is like that one man standing in the frame when news reporters are covering news.
Those photographers have much love in their heart. That is why those animals came closer without tearing them.
How fast can a lion run? Oh, about 60 miles an hour, so after you've sacrificed "you friends" , what are you gonna do? These camera men and women do have protection their armed guide's are not far off .Also, bear repellent works good on any animal that may attack.
@@cjshadrick4607 👌
Zebras could have thought of that 🤔
The words "...DO NOT FOLLOW..." on the side of the film vehicle as the lioness is walking nonchalantly away from an understandably "frozen in place" photographer was epic...
🇿🇦❤️🦁
Truly the Rainbow Nation 💓
@@ViviennePascoe-xn5hg ...yes we are...if only our current corrupt government would honour the value of this ethic instead of destroying it...🇿🇦
Number 2 because nothing is funnier here than watching that gorilla pet the photographer’s head as they move on. 😂 very similar to a human.
Lol! You're right. They were saying, "Adorable boy. Nice Human."
Watched a series of photographers who were photographing a pride that hunted at night. The lions were going to set off for the night but they decided they didn’t have anyone to watch the cubs so they dropped off the cubs next to their tents. So the photographers said “ I guess we are not going along on the hunting tonight because we have been chosen as the babysitters!” It was too funny. The moms came back in the morning and picked up their cubs. It was adorable to watch. 😂😂😂😂😂
My cat came right next to me to watch this video and we have enjoyed every minute of it 😊 even the fridge being open at some point didn't get him to stop watching and go, he watched till the end and then he went away.. ♡
A cat can be the best critter for anyone, i raised a feral kitty for 14 years , her mom lived for 5 years after she was born, the mom cat was somewhat wild and was hard to win trust with, she came around after about a month.
I don't have any cats but I do have 8 sheep and a Border Collie, that keeps me on my toes. he's so cute watching the trained Border Collie's herd my sheep into the barn to be sheared and he's learning fast how to be a great herder
@@cjshadrick4607
Awwww🥲
What a moment that must of been howling with the wolves!
I came across a bear once in the wild, and it was really unnerving and surreal. I made the mistake, and was too quiet, and accidentally snook up on him. By the time I heard him grunt, he had already stood up on his legs, and was just staring at me! I backed away, keeping eye contact, and thankfully, he didn't see me as a threat, or I may of been lunch! This happened nearly 30 years ago, and it's still very fresh in my mind!
Much respect to these photographers, that only arm themselves with bravery, and a camera!
Snook? Really?
Just amazing how animals in the wild over time realise the cameramen are no threat and start to become curious. Respect nature and it seems to respect you back.
interesting fact, the reason the bear probably didn’t attack or eat the man is because he was full during salmon season. Man’s was just stuffed and needed to sit down for a little
Lioness caught him off guard when she walked up to him and whispered "Delete that last one. I don't like it".
😎👍🏼
😆🤣🤣🤣
LoL..that Sheep is more violent than that Lion. 😂😂
I think the most impressive one was the guy getting away with petting the Cheetah cubs without having a dinner date with their mother 🫣😯
Love baby cub on his back😊❤
so this is why cameramen always survive during filming holywood movies, they are trained by wild animals.
Lolll funny 😁😂🤣👌🏾
Very important to not approach wild animals. We are watching positive encounters in this video but there are many videos and many more stories of encounters that dont end in such a pleasant way. Be safe everyone
Not to mention that the people shown here are professionals who are around animals often and would know how to react when approached by one. Even then, these professionals are often attacked and get sent to the hospital.
The wolf pack clip is very misleading, it makes it seem as if those individuals randomly stumbled upon a pack of friendly wolves, but that's not the case. Those wolves were on a special reserve, and those people are well-known by the pack.
That brown bear was like, "hey man, can I sit and have a beer with you? Oh, it's budweiser, I gotta go"
Lion was like “let me tell you something”😂
I love that bear sitting down like “what are we watching?” Lol. Then he realized they were just watching more of him and bailed.
Human: "I got a meerkat on my head."
Meerkat: "Why is the funny tree talking?"
Those meerkats are adorable
I would like to have the meerkats all over me, so cute! Thank you, great video x❤
I love the Silverbacks. They are wonderfully amazing. They should be feared and respected. The way they looked back at the guy as they were passing him was great!!
Thank you for sharing 😊
4:29….that Meerkat using the photographer as a 4ft tower😂😂 adorable❤❤
Certain people draw animals to them. I can walk through any neighborhood, all of the lost, not lost, & stray cats come to me (even when I’m alone and not walking with my cat). Also, people see me walking with my cats and are shocked, they say they’ve never seen someone walking their cat. I did not “make” them or “train” them to walk with me, without running away, it just happens because I walk WITH them, they usually lead, but being that I spend time with them, over time, cats learn to do what I want them to do, too. I’ve done this all of my life with many cats. My cat Fluffy recently passed away, she was 22 years old, and was like our CHILD. She’d been our baby (and grandmother, & friend) for much longer than human children are with their parents.
Our cat 'Max' often sleeps with us, occasionally he will bite my feet through the blanket, but he has never attacked us while we are asleep. We are very fortunate. He too sometimes sniffs my camera lens when I take close up photos of him. Right now he has taken command of my office chair -- I will not try to recover it.
Nothing makes me happier than watching this video, of wild animals being where they belong and not in zoos/aquariums..
Those wolves are adorable man. Also, calling them the forbidden huskies is absolutely hilarious
7:22 I would be less concerned with the 2 rhinos humping behind me but rather the Empire's Imperial Star Destroyer in the sky :D
HOLY SHIT LMAO
Dude you beat me too it. I was 9 minutes too late....lol
Meerkats. It was amazing how comfortable they were with the photographer. I was a big fan of Meerkat Manor.
lol 8 mins ago
Sometimes animals just know you’re that person who is kind and compassionate ❤❤❤
These men and woman are fearless! They have my respect. Thank you ALL for getting these beautiful shots of the wildlife. ❤
People should remember these are wild animals. While they seemed calm around the photographers, don't think you can treat any wild animal like a pet. Have respect.
Loved the clips of Kevin Richardson, he has so much love and respect to the animals
This video is another proof that cameraman never dies.
I have to give those wildlife photographers credit for their respect for nature!
If they really respected it, they would stay away
@@johnsuggs7828 Not true, I don't see how studying and wanting to interact with the wildlife is considered disrespectful. They're not harming them in any shape of form. Just studying.
@@anrijsc1037 You don't listen/read to well do you? Where did I say interacting was disrespectful. They are harming them because these animals and human beings SHOULD NOT INTERACT PERIOD.
People insist on looking at things from the human perspective because that's all that matters. But you'd be wrong. There is ZERO logical reason why anyone should be bothering these animals. I'm a microbiologist and I'm telling you that it's wrong and causes more problems for the animal
@@johnsuggs7828 Except the funniest part is most of these animals are the ones bothering the humans lmao.
@@anrijsc1037 If human beings didn't go where those animals are, how could that happen
Each encounter was priceless and really hard to pick one of the lot!
Kevin Richardson is amazing. He has so many great videos on his channel. His relationship with the lions is truly incredible.
These photographers are very special people. They have a gift from God, and many animals seem to know or feel their kindness. I hope I have their love of animals for the rest of my life.
Love them all but the bear sitting aside the photographer, like he'd also come to appreciate the view and to share a few fishing tales, made me laugh.
I've seen quite a few bear pictures like this - they act so human at times.
Just proved that cameramans are invincible.
Patient.
Love the Lioness she wanted to take your camera to take photos of her own familyshe is full of pride and learned from you taking photos of her
13 minutes of prooving the camera man is the most powerful being in the universe
Gorillas are either “what’s up bro?” In their habitat or go batshit insane and threaten to rip you apart. A lot like my ma.
Nah, Gorillas are very passive creature. They don't pick a fight without a good reason. That's why you never show your teeth or stare them in the eye. Those are considered threats. Same as beating your chest at them. They are actually very sweet once you get to know them.
Camera man never dies❤
Camera man never dies!
Just more proof that the camera man is bullet proof.
Lion: Don't forget we haven't received any royalties from all the photos you took of us. Consider this a warning.
So cameraman never dies
Apart from the father that stupidly got out of the family car to take photos of Lions, to then be promptly attacked and killed. The video is likely still on the internet somewhere.
Bear: "Ok! I'll just nonchalantly stroll down the bank whilst you're filming. Just make sure you get my best side."
LOL the guy with the bear sitting next to him, I could imagine the conversation when he shows up.
Bear: hey man hows it going? Taking pictures? Mind if I join you? This is a very lovely view, I can see why you'd want to take pictures here. Well I got bear stuff to do, see ya later.😂
Little Zelda ha ha the bear is kinda cute 😍 your conversation is really 👌 😄
cameramen never die.
They can get hit though...
"...which one would you like to come face-to-face with, and even pet?"
I gotta go with the Meerkat over the lion, grizzly, wolf pack, rhino & gorillas 😅
I would like to know what brand of camera still works after being chewed by a lioness. Solid.
Does Nokia make cameras? 😅
No one's gonna comment on the pic of the rhino's mating with the star destroyer in the sky....? 7:23
I just got to that point lol. Wtf.
Literally stopped the video and came straight to the comments to see who else noticed it!
@@Lumenel same here xD
Ah - didn't see your comment before I commented on this myself 😂
I LOVE all of these, but the Lioness bringing the "Toy" camera to her cubs- absolutely adorable!!
The wolf part isn't told 100% accurate. It's from a wolf reserve in Norway. They were expecting them. Those wolves are pretty tame.
😮❤ meerkar is my fav, they don't feel face scared with anything and it's look cute😂
7:49 bruhhh why in balls
To deliver maximum pain
@@fadillah6014 I have to agree with you there 😂
Work smarter 😅
Pure example of "Cameraman never dies"
Or example of getting away with it, for the time being
That's why I like to photograph birds and ducks, I'm not on their menu.
🤣😂😅
Lioness: Yep, everything seems to be in order, using the right lenses, very professional. Make sure to get my good side, carry on.
Running from the wolves would actually be bad.
1. Wolves are faster.
2. Wolves and dogs have natural herding/ chasing instincts. Food runs, they chase.
3. If there aren't agressive just be calm and that will keep them calm.
Yeah, saying you'd run deffinitely proves you would not survive being close enough to a wolf, or any other animal since most of them can and will outrun you with zero hesitation.
@@weirdcatkid hey dipshit, he said running from wolves would be hard! Learn to read
7:16 .. no one is gonna talk about this? 😂
the forbidden plane
Nope 😂
No diddy but we need them rhinos to make more rhinos! Get to it mr and mrs rhino 😂😂
definitely the cheetahs! So beautiful and intelligent.
My favorite was Kevin Richards. He encountered wild animals and has made a sanctuary for them. A man after my own heart!
The photographer with the croc was lucky someone was paying attention.
This has got to be the 1st time that a thumbnail I clicked on was talked about in the 1st clip of the video. There was no waterboarding till the end of the video just to realize you’ve been click baited.
Thank You
The camera guy never dies!!😂
🙏🏼✨
That goat said "BBC? Doubt it. Lets have a closer look then, shall we..."
Lol WHY DID THIS SUDDENLY got recommended to everyone’s recommended 😭😭
Hi Connie hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
The photographers patience and knowledge of the animals makes this possible. Animals become habituated to the presence of the photographers and makes this possible.
For land animals, I would NOT pet snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators, Kimodo dragons, or hyenas. I would pet every other animal, though, which means I'd be dead.
I will happily die trying to hug a lion or panther.
I would pet absolutely everything except spiders
If wild animals aren't meant to be touched, why do they all enjoy scratches and pets?
Truly worlds greatest temptations.
They aren't meant to be touched by humans because showing care and affection towards them can cause them to become reliant on humans for such things. It's because they enjoy it that we can't do it.
I'm just thankful that so many of these incidents turned out well. It would have been so easy for those situation to take a quick and gruesome turn for the worse.
As cool as it would be to get that close to wildlife, I'd be scared shitless to be in their shoes.
He said hyenas have one of the hardest bites in the animal kingdom. Then, I watch one bite the balls of a rhino. Poor rhino!!!
Beautiful moments. 👍😁❤️😇
He's RIGHT behind me, isn't he
This is one of the example of photographer's and cameraman's immortality
This is nothing. In the documentaries about the beginning of the Universe and Earth there is always cameramen present ready to immortalize the Late Heavy Bombardment and capture the Great Oxidation Event when the sky was filled with Oxygen.
Gorrillas were like “ wassup cuz? How come you don’t come around more, we fam” 😊
I'm a wildlife photographer and would never get that close to those predators. Those photographers are insane.
They live to tell!!🏆
Lion: “Hey bro, you got any kind of package deal on family portraits?”
why have all of us been recommended this video at the same time.
really 😂
Magical algorithm of youtube
The more I watch videos like this, the more convinced I am instinct is not enough to understand and explain animal behavior.
People confuse sentience and sapience.
Sentience is merely to be aware of yourself and be capable of exploring and engaging with your environment.
Sapience is this to a vastly greater degree as the species becomes much better at extracting use and meaning from the world around them.
Most large species are sentient, and will remember individuals from other species and how you behave. Some will try to use basic tools even, beyond that of their own body.
Only a handful really use tools in an advanced way.
As far as sapience goes, octopus are an obvious contender, with runner-up's being other apes and some birds. It's harder to say for intelligence with some species as they are less able to manipulate objects or have greater communication boundaries.
Of course, our interpretation of other species behavior is heavily dependent on how sociable that species is and how many methods of communication we can perceive to interpret.
If predators are not hungry, or fearful, or protecting young, they will rarely attack.
They may get invasive out of curiosity, your safest option is to not react suddenly in fear.
10:38
For some reason the narrator keeps referring th mountain Gorillas as "A Family of Silverback Gorillas".
It's like calling all cattle "Bulls".
Silverback is a designation for an adult male mountain gorilla due to the saddle of white hair that it develops in maturity.
All silverbacks are mountain gorillas, but not all mountain Gorillas are silverbacks.
7:49 that hyena also had gone nuts lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Cameraman never dies
That guy with the hyenas is Kevin Richardson! He has a channel here on youtube called The lion whisperer. I recommend checking him out, you can watch his videos of him with the animals he cares for in his sanctuary.
They're all good in their own respective ways. Appreciate the warning that the friendliness of the animals should not be assumed, but respected!
Several years ago there was an American photographer who had set up his camera in the jungle and took some photos of a monkey. The little monkey came up to the camera and really hammed it up. He got a fabulous photo of it and it was published. PETA jumped onto it and sued him for taking the photo and making money off the monkey without the monkey's permission, saying it infringed on the monkey's rights. Yes, it went to the Supreme Court and the photographer settled the case by agreeing to donate a large portion of the royalties he earned off of that photo, to wildlife preservation. I am a huge animal lover; I prefer them over humans, but that was going too far, especially when a wildlife photographer takes those photos to show people how beautiful wildlife is and increase awareness on protection.
that is the fault of the court justice system not Peta. plenty of morons sue others for dumb things, and smart people in the justice system should make sure it doesn't happen. Sadly humans are dumb, and even justices and judges are often dumb. Just a failure with the justice system, not him, or Peta.
@@eolsunder This reminds me of copyright cases that come before a judge, the most notorious and egregious case was George Harrison being sued over his song “My Sweet Lord”. Harrison lost the rights to his biggest individual hit song because the judge in his case ruled that “My Sweet Lord” had plagiarised “He’s So Fine”, a Ronnie Mack composed song recorded by The Chiffons.
The judge clearly didn’t have a clue about pop music, despite being an alleged “writer of operas” and classical musician….probably the worst person to preside over the case!
A judge with common sense would’ve been better than that guy!
7:16 - he was scratching that belly for his life
The gorillas...I just adore them. But every single one of those encounters was adorable
Meerkats!!!! The most special of ALL animal species EVER!!! To view one live would be my most ulltimate dream!!!! Never realize how small they are!!!! They are supreme!!!!
No real danger here, camera man never dies.
Facto ✌️
The cameraman is the only person who will survive in every crucial situation, even after the apocalypse.. they never dies 😄
Hats off to all cameramen 👏👏👏
Not always, quite a few have perished in accidents, and war zones.
