I was with my really good research assistant, Sammy Soke.

And we just found Jacob, Julia, Janet, and so basically his whole pride.

And we were in Ishasha, one of the first days of filming, super excited, but we were in quite a compromised part of the landscape.

So we were on a kind of hillside, and there was all these termite mounds around us, and the lions were just coming down from this big fig tree.

We were in a little Suzuki Jimny.

So I don't know if anybody knows.

It's one of the smallest 4x4s available on the market.

It's a very tiny car.

That's a really good point.

We had a filming door.

So my friend Matt Myhill in South Africa basically made like a little –

iron door, but it wasn't a door.

It was basically like something to hold my camera.

So I was kind of exposed on this right-hand side.

Yeah, essentially.

I mean, it's like a tiny little car.

But, you know, all the times that I've spent around big cats, they'd always seen the vehicle and the people in it as one entity, and they'd never shown any interest.

So Sam was just like, hey, man, maybe we're too close to these lions.

I don't feel comfortable.

We should get out of here.
