The CECIL affect

Dee S · Feb 18, 2019

I've been going through our video clips from the Namibia trip and thought I'd share this short clip. I call it, "The CECIL affect" Now granted, this lady is probably a very nice lady, someone's wife, mother, possibly grandmother, so I won't resort to calling her names or belittling her for her question. We were on a game drive at the Erindi Game Preserve.

The driver should have checked the serial number on the left front track.

Do you think she was trained on another game drive by the driver BS'ing about the names of the critters?

I'm not sure of her history, but it sure drew some laughs from the other riders. I wish I would have had the camera pointed at my daughters face when she asked it. That would have been worth it. Emily just looked at me, "like really Dad, is she serious?" :A Bonk:

I have read of camps where certain animals are seen frequently, and have been assigned names by the drivers/trackers. And they can be identified by their tracks. Missing toes, a dragging foot, etc. The viewer has no context at all. There are certainly people who have the view that lions are so rare that all of them are named, but I give her credit for being on a game drive and learning.

Given all the petting zoos in southern Africa, I can only imagine this woman was trained through close encounters there or through Youtube videos.
It sure does show how people are trained to think that Africa is one big petting zoo.
