    National Geographic are using drones and robots to get up close and personal shots of lions in the Serengeti. If any human got as close as these robots did to a lion in the wild, they would be chowed in no time. Lucky for us we can get an inside peek into the personal lives of lions, like the Kardashians, with the help of our robo friends.

    Unlike the Kardashians, the footage is shot with bomb-defusing drones, using a remote control, taken mostly at night. The lions don’t see the robot as a threat, probably because they can’t smell the fear oozing out of it as they would with any sane human.

    The photos are credited to Michael Nichols and were published in this month’s issue of National Geographic:
