While running photo safaris to Africa and around the world, I love placing my GoPro in unusual locations to capture some unique wildlife interactions.
Here, in Kenya, I put my GoPro hero3 onto a radio controlled toy car, and gently drove it towards to a large bull elephant. Facing away from me, the elephant appeared not to even notice, so I started to back the camera away to try a different angle. Suddenly the elephant swung around, shaking his head menacingly and stormed right up to the toy car, deliberately put his foot on top of it and crushed downwards, smashing it into pieces before wandering onwards. Amazingly, the camera survived! I love the view of the bottom of the foot closing in from above - it'd be the last view many small insects ever see! Yes, I picked up all the pieces of the car.
Check out my other videos of lion cubs pawing and roaring at the camera (used as a TV commercial by GoPro), cheetahs, huge lions chewing on it, polar bears picking it up - you name it!
