    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 3 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.

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).
