Lioness grabs GoPro camera and shoots wild selfie video in Kenya
She’s the jungle’s “mane” influencer!
A lioness grabbed a nature photographer’s GoPro camera and shot a wild selfie video while on the prowl in Kenya.
The plucky party animal is shown sniffing the stick-mounted camera — which was set up in the hopes she would snatch it — before bolting off with it in her mouth at the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Footage features an up-close shot of the ferocious feline’s sharp teeth along with a quirky angle of her nose as she dashes through the bush-dotted landscape.
“I’ll admit that I was worried about getting the camera back,” said wildlife photographer Ahmed Galal of the United Arab Emirates to Caters News.

“We managed to chase after the lioness, and she dropped the camera,” Galal said.
“Although it had a few scratches, the GoPro still functioned,” he said.

At the end of the footage, the cameo queen of the jungle drops the stick in the grass as a vehicle is seen pulling up in the distance.
