It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 57 - Polar Smashing Bear

Now, this would definitely scare the hell out of me.  

Imagine going to the Antarctica Zoo, Sea World, The Amazon, or Africa and while you're talking to your buddy about last night's conquest, a Polar Bear swimming in the aquarium inches from you, approaches the glass to say hi.

You don't pay attention to him, so he decides to throw a rock at you, shattering the glass behind you.  My thoughts are... 1) you run as fast you can out of the building, 2) continue talking to your buddy, or 3) stay put and tape the damn thing.

Not a hard decision is it? LOL.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 55 - BeetleCam is Back

Update:  When I initially wrote this blog, I made some errors that were unintentional.  If you read that post, I am deeply sorry.  I have now made the corrections and have given credit, where credit is due.

For those who have no idea what a BeetleCam is, it is a remote control buggy with a DSLR camera mounted on top. Will Burrard-Lucas from the UK created this little machine in 2009 in order take close-up, wide angle photographs of African animals. 

Will, alongside his brother, Matt have won several prestigious awards and have appeared in countless magazines and websites over the years. Feel free to check out their site and blog at www.burrard-lucas.com.  They have a pretty impressive portfolio.

In 2009, Will and Matt embarked on a project that quickly became a news and internet sensation,  "The BeetleCam Project," where they took photographs of African wildlife using their little robotic creation. 

Not completely satisfied with their work, they went back in 2011, and came back with a new "BeetleCam is Back" teaser, which you can check out below - its pretty darn cool. You can also find out more about their initial project, "The Adventures of BeetleCam", in a blog posted by will on April 19, 2010.
