    MEET the daring animal lover who spends his days cuddling tigers and playing football with a pride of lions. Armand Gerber, 51, runs the Iron Throne Predator and Wildlife Park in South Africa, with the help of his wife, Beatrice. With more than 80 hectares of beautiful land, Armand houses 10 lions, three tigers, two leopards and a cheetah - in addition to porcupines, warthogs and smaller cats. Armand hand-feeds lion brothers, Rufus and Brutus, who each weigh a colossal 550lbs. He rescued the majority of his animals from places with bad publicity and his biggest dream is to provide a forever-home for those most in need. Follow their story here:

    • @TheNumbardar128
      @TheNumbardar128 4 года назад +81

      These Predatory Animals cannot be tamed completely. It depends on animal to animal which can be tamed. Like pit bull dog is known to attack its owners. So it can’t be tamed. Taming totally depends on “docility” nature of an animal . Dogs are most docile. Even It varies from dog to dog . Like german shepherd even though a beast, is the most trustworthy dog. And talking about these big cats.... they can’t be trusted 100 percent. This guy still risks his life daily being that close to them.

      On the other hand... lions are fighters and protectors by nature... they only and only hunt when they are hungry and when they feel attacked.
      So lions are naturally safer if they are well fed and well respected.

      We're are all animals. The only difference is humans have the privilege of not technically being a part of the food chain. That is a very vague term you just gave. I mean humans would probably be very bad overall if we didn't gradually build this society we have today. Compare an average human taking care of a cat or a dog and then a chimpanzee ripping off an infants testicles (true story).

      Cheetahs are pretty docile, pretty good chance theyll run away from u when u try to hug them or just stay still and let u do ur thing, but for lions, tigers and leopards its a different story

      when you get one of these big cat's,you have to get them when there very small,so your there parent as far as they are concerned.they would never hurt you if your very loving to them.but''you have to feed them good.the vet cut's there nail's when they put them to sleep.but everybody who own's these big cat's does thing's there way.he probably visit's the lepord's then takes a shower,then visit's the lion's,and takes another,etc..to remove the scent of the other cat's.cause they go by that sometime,but not all cat's.'you should know other ppl that have cat's to get some lesson's what not to do.''and you should respect them more then a little cat,or even your biggest dog''..good video,the best one ive ever seen.i guess you need a lot of money to feed them right.i would'ent know.?? just guess'ing..

      You have to remember that lions are wild animals not house pets they’re not meant for cuddles with the public

      Who would even want to cuddle a lion. Lions arent cute, nor friendly.
