Why wildlife prefer Nikon

[Bryan Pereira]

This is just for fun, but on my photo safari's I'm almost always out numbered by Canon shooters. sometimes 6-1! Last week we had 5 cheetahs on our vehicle it was an amazing experience, which camera do you think the cheetah decided to kiss? ... Nikon of course!

I like that they're not afraid! It looks as if they're quite comfortable on your car.

This reminds me of the Big Cat Diaries program they did a few years back. Cheetah certainly got not only very bold near the study cars ,but would also often use them for a vantage point. Seems that they are more sociable toward humans (although lots of other African animals are also very used to tourist cars now)- kind of explains why cheetah hunting (ergo hunting with a cheetah - they even had hoods like hawkers put onto their birds) became a sport/passtime for some.

Fantastic experience and looks like it was a lot of fun!

This is incredible! Great shots and I'd like to know who was brave enough to go out of the truck for the last pic haha.

Using tuna-based lens cleaner doesn't hurt either!

That shows 2 things

1.Most wild life shooters have bad taste in cameras
2.Cats has good taste in cameras
