Meet the Man Who Spends His Time Cuddling Lions and Tigers
Being around tigers or lions is risky. And they are not, for example, pets which we can hug and treat gently. However, Armand Gerber and his wife Beatrice enjoy being with these dangerous animals. They manage South Africa’s Iron Throne Predator and Wildlife Park. According to Armand all the animals there are born already in captivity, they raise those cubs. He admits that he would like to keep all the captured lions. All their wild cats love to hug their owner.
Of course, Armand knows that working with such wild animals is quite dangerous, but he enjoys his work. In any case, he urges everyone to treat animals with respect.
Armand said: “To many people, I’m crazy because I chose this job and it’s close to my heart. But how can I not love these creatures, they’ve already become my family.”
