Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

They never chased the car, but when we hit the road, we just accelerated and got out of there.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Like it was crazy.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

No, we just were very careful with that particular Pride of Lions.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

We just didn't film them at night.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

No.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

We generally do always have a Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger in our vehicle.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

On this particular night, we didn't.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

But, yes, there is always an AK-47 in the vehicle for safety.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Not that I don't even know how that would look.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

We'd probably end up being shot ourselves.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

That particular car was so small that I don't think we wouldn't have been able to do anything.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

No, not at all.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

In fact, it's elephants and buffaloes and hippos.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Those are actually the animals that I'd say I'm the most wary.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So hippos are quite difficult at night.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So that little safari lodge where I was staying for eight bucks a night, timber safari lodge, they actually, the hippos come and graze at night.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So if you have to walk between, like they say, the kitchen and where you're sleeping, there's a high likelihood that you'll bump into a hippo.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

And what a lot of people don't know is hippos kill more animals.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

They kill more people in Africa than all of the big five combined.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Yeah.
