Me too! I saw a program on TV a little while ago about a woman who raised baby clouded leopards until they were old enough to place in a zoo. SO lucky!
But yeah, my husband is always reminding me that my total lack of fear would be my (literal, limb-from-limb) undoing for sure! ;)

There was a similar show on raising polar bear cubs! They were adorable but as they grew, they got less adorable and more frightening.
