Animal behaviourist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night curled up with them without the slightest fear of attack.
Richardson, 32, who is based in a wildlife conservation area near Johannesburg in South Africa, works his unusual magic on other species too. Cheetahs, leopards and even unpredictable hyenas hold no threats for him.
So instinctively in tune is he with these beasts, whose teeth are sharp enough to bite through thick steel, that mother hyenas even allow him to hold their newborn cubs without pouncing to the rescue.
But lions are his favourite. He lavishes them with unconditional love, he says, treating each individual differently, speaking to them, caressing them and, above all, treating them with respect.

This is gonna wind up like that ‘Bear Whisperer” in Alaska who became dinner...
My feeling is things probably aren’t going to end well for this guy.
ping for cats
Put your head in its mouth!
The exact same words of Roy of Siegfield and Roy just before showtime.
Yep, one lion with a bad hair day is all it takes.
Who has the kitty ping list?
My thoughts exactly. Whisper softly, but carry a big firestick...
All this guy is to them is a playful long pig, there is a reason 99.99999% of people run AWAY from them you idiot.....
just like the olding boxer who has that one fight too many.......this guy will depend on his passive approach
only to find out he became lunch........sad
The Disneyfication of the liberal mind continues.
That guy was such an uber-assclown. He went by the (made-up by him) name of Timothy Treadwell.
'Round these parts he is more accurately described as Timothy Snackwell.
Reminds me of the guys who loved bears - that is until one of them ate him and his girlfriend.
lol... eventually he’ll be dead meat...
he sure will.....just look at this pic.......they kill by severing the spinal cord, or in the case of BIG prey, they suffocate it by clamping on its windpipe
