What I do... and a lion!

I've banged on endlessly about what my better half does, but I don't talk much about what I do...

This wild mountain lion was filmed in total darkness by an old school friend of mine from the UK, up by Lake Tahoe. He was using one of my latest Infrared Thermal cameras to capture footage of the lion at a bait station as they tried to replace his broken GPS collar...

That footage of the lion is amazing! :thumbup:

Interesting how cautious he is approaching the bait . . . .

Very cool! I must say I'd be a bit nervous being that close to it...:ohmy:

Actually nobody was close to the lion. Jake had set up a movement-activated camera trap with my camera. The lion wouldn't have approached if anyone had been around!

He probably still has vague memories of waking up with a terrible hangover the last time he just happened to stumble across a dead deer in the middle of the night ... :sneaky:

Nice footage!

So did they manage to catch him to fix the collar?

Not yet Yorkie... they're back out in the field looking for him again right now!

My hubby's engineers do thermographic scans in the marine industry to look for hotspots in equipment (this is the sum of my knowledge on the subject). If the equipment is ever at home we use it to look at the cats, and our electrical stuff, and my boobs :eek:

Don't think they have ever come across a lion...will have to ask...

Seeing as how DBJ was good enough to post his professional work, I think it would be remiss of you not to reciprocate:D
