Watch: Anne de Paula’s SI Swimsuit Photos with Lion, Giraffe

Throughout the history of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit release, there have been countless adventure photo shoots.
In 2019, Brazilian model Anne de Paula took part in a unique – and semi-dangerous – shoot. De Paula posed in Kenya with a lion and a giraffe.
The assignment was part of de Paula’s third of four consecutive appearances in the SI Swimsuit edition. Despite the challenges she faced, the Rio de Janeiro native coped with confidence.
You can check out some video highlights from her wildlife shoots below.
De Paula started her SI Swimsuit career in 2017 after winning the 2017 SI Swimsuit model search. She appeared in the magazine in ‘Body Paint’.
NBA star Joel Embiid’s girlfriend, de Paula, was set to be showcased in the 2018-20 annual SI Swimsuit.
