No telephoto lenses were used, and the wild animal scenes were all filmed at close range. Schoedsack cranked the camera while Cooper stood close by with a rifle.

Cooper later served as the model for Carl Denham, the character played by Robert Armstrong in KING KONG.

No telephoto lenses indicates to me that way back then these wild animals had not yet learned to fear man and then as time passed it became too late for most species.
