She seems to be covered in blood on the right shoulder but not at all impeded. Scary

Apparently the hunter shot the lioness off the cameraman.
Not good but better than real bad for the cameraman.

Cats can be VERY tough! Scary charge for the camera man- had a lot of faith in the shooters, I must say.
I shot a rather large feral Tom kitty through both shoulders with a .45 cal. round ball - at a range of about 15 yards, impact velocity 1,900fps. I reloaded then walked up to it and it raised it's head - hissed and spat at me.
A deer would have been stone dead by the time I approached it
That 45RB through both shoulders would be equivalent to shooting a lion with about a 64 pound(er) cannon ball through both shoulders at point blank range. My kitty cat was immobilized, but still alive and quite pissed.
The lioness was shot through and through - blood appeared behind her shoulder left side, and out through the other shoulder/leg right side - not pinky frothy, might even have been heart blood.
Cats can be VERY tough.

My eyes may be deceiving me, but I think I can see what looks like an arrow protruding from both sides of the lion's neck. Could this be an archery hunt gone wrong?

Was a bow hunt, my mate is the camera man !! 20 or 30 stitches. Martin kept the camera rolling though. Good man to have alongside you !

One cool dude. Think I would of been filming down the lions throat, well that's where I would be shoving the camera.
