Lion Conservation and Critter Cam Exploration

The video explores the challenges of lion conservation in East Africa, highlighting the work of Lawrence Frank. It introduces the Critter Cam, a technology developed by National Geographic to study lions in their natural habitat. The video follows the team as they track a lioness named Lela, attaching the Critter Cam to observe her behavior. The footage provides insights into lion hunting strategies, especially at night, and the teamwork between lionesses. The successful test of the Critter Cam offers new tools for understanding how lions can coexist with humans, emphasizing the importance of preserving large predators and wilderness.
