South African Animal Behaviorist Kevin Richardson is so gentle with wild beasts that he can handle their newborns. He likes lions best of all, and trusts them so much he can spend the night curled up with them. Link -via Arbroath, who has videos of Richardson in action.

    Another one for the darwin awards. When do people realise that you simply don’t do that with a grown up wild predator of this size?

    I’ll bet he has trouble buying life & health insurance. AD&D too.

    How long until he’s killed like the rest of these pompous people who believe they and they alone have a special link to the animals only to find their faces ripped off?

    I’ve seen the documentary of his about his relationship with these big ol’ kitties. It was quite fascinating to say the least. A little scary.

    “Look, I can also put my head in the lion’s mouth.”

    Wild animals = wild animals. Just the tongue of a lion can scrape your skin off. Can’t think what these giants teeth and claws would do. Smart guy.

    I think it’s amazing what he does with lions. It takes a lot of courage, confidence and trust to be able to handle these beautiful animals.

    How CAN you publish the idiot ‘Rana’ and her (his?) obscene filth! He (she) must either be very sick (or smoking something unmentionable!?) The ‘comments’ have absolutely nothing to do with Kevin Richardson’s activity!
