feeding the lions

2008.05.11

Ant lions make these cone traps and then if an ant walks though they make avalanches which make the ant fall to the bottom so they can grab it. Of course we sacrificed some nearby ants purely for entertainment. Is that twisted?

Added a link to some more details and pictures of the actual critter Ant Lion

ScubaLiz Of course not, but what the heck is an ant lion???? Well, whatever it is, I'd have fed ants to it too! ;)

veganess Anything to keep the lions attentions off me.

Cherax Trying to recall, but I think these have a flying stage too. It's pretty grim watching their victims being dragged down.

gderuiter The video clip was awesome (and it did have sound when I played it). Next you have to shoot an encounter -- even if you do rig it yourself!
