Can say you hand fed Lions on Sunday...?
What can I say... I have a new found respect for these awesome animals.
The power and size of them is simply eye opening.
I was all confident going into the cage, but when they opened their mouths and growled at us I was fast put back down into my place in the food chain.
Absolutely amazing! The size of their heads alone is a sight to be seen.

Then we got to play with Dingos in their inclosure.
Thanks very much to Dave for giving myself and Anja the chance to experience it.
Given the chance I would be back in a flash!

I have had one roaring at me on the African plains from about 20m away. It was very scary, in fact is probably one of the scariest things I have done!

Anyone who knows me, knows how tall I am. You can see how tall they are when on their back legs... Not exactly a small kitty cat

They sure are beautiful animals!!

We went to Orana Park a couple of weeks ago.. Seeing the big cats up close was simply magic.. Specially the Lions..

& the cheetas made us laugh.. they have meow like a little puddy tat!!

But I have to say that.. being a Leo n all...

Bloody heck,small pieces of meat compared to your hand,be something I'd like to do,was up close years ago at Rotorua lion park,the cubs although small were bloody strong,jaw wise,i.e trying to pull a piece of hide from them.
