My Mission is to inspire and educate people from around the world about the beauty and importance of the animal kingdom. I do this by creating and sharing educational and inspirational content on social media.The moment we humans fall in love with someone we immediately want to protect them and definitely don't want to harm them. This is why it is important to me that what i show and what I say is not being misinterpret or leads to a wrong way of love for animals and that is ultimately why we created this Video. People need to understand that living with wild animals in a natural wilderness area is not the same as visiting a peting zoo or getting yourself a wild animal as a pet. I dedicated my entire life and beeing in order to live a life amongst them, i risk my life, my time, my everything in order to fit into their world. This commitment and dedication results in the justification of me interacting physically and mentally with these being in a way the world has rarely seen before. This is the reason why i take YOU guys through our content with me into this world in order for You to experience some of this fascination upclose and personal as i do it. Like this You don't have to quit Your Job, leave Your social enviroment and Your life behind and move into the wilderness for the rest of Your life in order to see them and learn from them upclose and personal like i do it.
Share it with everyone You know and let me know Your thoughts in the comments below.

    Puts things into perspective doesn’t it. I get mauled by my cats also sometimes. Mainly during play, the male gets rough. And that’s a 6kg cat. I can’t imagine what a 250 to 300kg cat would feel like.

    Half true, just knowing a lion since a cub will not make you bond with them like this, you gotta understand their language and behavior. You can act like human around a Lion, knowing since the cub stage will not save anyone from doing something stupid like accidental dominant body language over a bad mood lion male…

    It’s similar to me & my husband with my house cats. When I first met my male cat, who is the largest domestic cat I’ve ever seen in real life, and who was homeless at the time (our female cat brought him home), even though he rubbed my leg at our first meeting, and was very loving, we got bit and scratched A LOT (there were reasons for this that we didn’t know about at the time) but we never got mad or showed him anything but respect & empathy - he stopped biting & grabbing on with claws the day after we treated him for fleas. He was so anxious from having fleas biting him, that he didn’t want to be touched much, especially towards his back end where we found the flea dirt. Also, when petting him, he would snap & hiss at us, and we often got bit (blood drawn) if we touched his lower back & one of his hind legs - it wasn’t visible, but he had an old, internal injury on one of his legs. Plus, his anxiety was heightened even more when he came to live with us, even though we did many things to lessen it, it’s just a part of it - we left the door open for the first week so that he could come & go, as he had a “den” in our neighborhood, he even took me to it several times. For several months, and even now, once in a while, he goes to check on his old sleeping place, he still guards it, but it has lessened greatly. He is more loving than most other cats we’ve had through the decades, he sleeps with us all night, every night, which our other cats never did, not all night. Many people would’ve given up on him and assumed he was mean, but like I said, he’s one of the most loving cats we’ve ever had. We had a female Persian cat, Fluffy, who was with us for 22 years- she came to us as a homeless cat, too. She was in excellent health even at 24 years old, still taking 2 or 3 long walks daily, except she developed breast cancer at 24, and it spread fast, so we had to say goodbye to her - we had her for 22 YEARS, that’s longer than most children live at home, she was like our child, our parent, and our grandparent all at the same time - she taught us so much! ❤

    Basically it boils down to you must be fully accepted as a part of their pride to cuddle a lion and that takes time , patience and sacrifice to learn their quirks and how fit in with them as one of their own and gain their trust. He and his brother Noeh has and continues to put in the hard work it takes into earning and keeping that trust thus acceptance. They are in it with them good or bad like family does which the lions know so they naturally treat them like family. They endure the scratch's and injuries so they can also share the beautiful moments of affection we get to see with the lions. This is also why the rest of us can't and never will be able to cuddle a lion like he and his brother do.

    Thank you Dean, yes you are part of the lion family, raising them from kittens. You know their so-called thoughts. Gestures. By movement, body language. Each of them has a different nature, sometimes it is difficult. Now the boys are adults. There is definitely tension there. This is about the role of a leader, a very complex situation. I like your approach. Your work and effort is impressive. You are a role model. You remind me of Steve Irwin. It's like a dream, but it's not a dream. It's really real. Thank you. I look forward to more videos. Regards, Renzi.

But finding your channel on Instagram and KZread and watching your videos, I touch something bright and hopeful every time. Seeing how you follow your path, your values with great love and passion, and how much beauty you bring into this world, I'm glad that such things exist somewhere on the planet. Your KZread video about how hard it is for you to maintain the entire park really touched me. Unfortunately, I can't do much, but I bought a bracelet and hope it will somehow help your cause. This is all I can afford, but let it be a small contribution to your wonderful work. You show that it's possible to stay true to your values no matter how hard it gets, showing a part of our wonderful planet. You show how important it is to maintain balance, to respect those around us, whether they are people or wild animals. You show that in return for respect and love comes even more respect and love even from beings that seem hostile or very distant to us. Thank you for what you do!
