A controversial zoo in Argentina allows tourists to have extremely close encounters with some of the most dangerous predators in the world.
Here at the Lujan Zoo near Buenos Aires visitors can ride lions, cuddle bears, stroke tigers and feed cheetahs.
The animals appear to be very sedate and tame and keepers casually supervise the animals that aren't chained when they are out of their cages.
Visitors can even pick up the smaller animals and manhandle them at risk to themselves and the creatures.

The first response had to be removed because the Daily Mail UK requires that all of their material be excerpted and linked.

A smiling young lady from Niger
Rode on the back of a tiger
And after the ride
She wound up inside
With her smile on the face of the tiger.
