Polar Bear at a German Zoo Gets It’s Paws on a Canon 70-200mm Lens
German photographers Marion and Dieter were visiting the Nuremberg Zoo earlier this month when they came across an odd sight: one of the polar bears named Felix was chomping on a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS telephoto lens. Apparently another lady was trying to change lenses while standing at the edge of the enclosure, and accidentally let the 70-200mm slip out of her grasp and into Felix’s territory.
The photographers may have had slight smirks on their faces: Dieter shoots with a Nikon D300 and Marion shoots with a Nikon D90. They managed to snap series of photos showing Felix gnawing at the lens, smoking it like a cigar, and flicking it into his pool.
You can find more of the duo’s photos of this event over on their fotocommunity account here.
As a die-hard Nikon enthusiast, I always felt Canons were just overpriced chew toys anyway. LOL
