Watch this lion effortlessly hunt down a buck with a GoPro strapped to it [video]

Lion-GoPro

We’ve spotted some real amazing thing on GoPro’s. From a stick-up in Somerset West, South Africa to swimming dolphins and people playing saxophone while surfing, they never cease to amaze.

This latest addition to GoPro’s thrilling YouTube playlist shows a lion hunt down a waterbuck. The four-and-a-half minute clip is shot using the Hero 3 strapped to the lioness (who is named Meg by the way) as well as the conservationist’s own GoPro.

Now, for those of you who haven’t heard of him before, Kevin Richardson is super bad-ass. He’s a conservationist slash lion whisperer who’s been doing all those insane wildlife films that show him hugging and wrestling big cats in the wild plains of South Africa.

This latest one definitely pushes the boundaries of wildlife cinematography. Imagine eventually being able to stream the lion’s video feed online.

Take a look. The action starts about one minute in, though the whole clip is really worth a watch:
