As long as they're kept in healthy, clean and suitable environments. They have every need to be in captivity. In the next 10 years these animals will not be roaming the earth. Other than the captive ones. Being held in a good captivity means being bred in healthy environments which then gives us more animals. I definitely approve of this. They are not being hunted. They are not being starved. They are safe. They are healthy.
Sure, spend 1 year in jail and tell me how you feel. You will be healthy, safe, you won't starve, and you can even recieve an education! About the getting hunted part? there are already a lot of natural reserves around the world with guys with machinguns waitting for the first illigal hunter to show up. And the 10 year theory? where did you get that? facebook is not a good scource. Peace!
I know this guy is doing something good and I have nothing against it...maybe the only way to save these animals is to keep them in cages, feed them and take care of them but by doing that they will change and they won't be what they are meant to be...predators.They will just become "cats" the ones we have at home. In my opinion any lion or tiger that is playing and cuddling with humans is not a lion anymore...it just looks like one.
JICM25 In the US for example there are over 10K tigers while in the wild there are less than 3k due to 2/3rds of territory cuts from meat imports/production and palm oils. Yes, meat(Mainly cow) and palm oil consumption is a growing factor to their demise as well as many other endangered animals. Tiger attacks are rare with cheetahs being the rarest(more docile than house cats!). That said, it is a huge commitment with a large cost of caring for these animals. Generally US owners have their tigers well cared for.
I was a bit skeptical at first but after watching the vid I have nothing but admiration for this guy. The cats are clearly well cared for with adequate space and enrichment and most importantly his main aim is educating people about their plight in the wild. Much respect to you Sir and keep up the good work!!! :)
+Alasska Luna Agree, that's why I'm more happy to see these wild animals in captivity being well cared for and loves than in the wild being shot as a trophy. Like he said, where is the wild, where is the wild that these animals live in?
+asian94girl very true. And at least when they have a good situation in captivity, they avoid the worst elements of survival in the wild. They have great food on tap, no painful injuries, no losing their young to other predators, no starving during the dry season etc. I've watched a lot of wildlife documentaries and it's bloody harrowing stuff. It's really hard not to feel that the ones being properly cared for by humans - with adequate space and enrichment - are better off than their fully-wild counterparts!! Complete freedom in the wild may be the best and most natural thing for them, but it sure comes at a high price.
@@JackCud because they need it to find enough prey. fairly sure if you had something like 2 by 4km it would be more than enough despite it being 1 to 2 orders of magnitu smaller area then in the wild.
Dont be afraid of them and giving them the food safely is two different things. Cats and any other animals would get aggressive over their food. They could bite her arm.
I know, I get so angry that so many wonderful species by almost anyone's definition are gonna go exinst because people villianize the pet trade so much even it does much more for conservation than any of sanctuary every could
they aren't affraid by humans, they are too social (with other big cats of other species) as they also lost their predatory skills. They could'nt be put back in the wild without having them coming in nearby villages (to be feed by humans and/or to eat humans). In such situation, captivity is the better thing to do. Also, they are almost extinct species (or severly in danger), so to keep some living specimens in captivity giving us the opportunity to save their species (like it been done by the past). So don't think that it's cruel... because they are well feed, they have fun all together, they receive really good cares and love from that guy (+ a squad of vets) and they'll probably save their own kind that way. If someone think that it's cruel, i'd suggest them to go in a pig or a chicken farm instead.
He's overly confident in a bond that is not natural. Aside from when people rescue wild, orphaned animals, it's just wrong for people to own these animals. The risk of tragedy is too high. He owns them and plays with them because he WANTS to...not because these animals need to be in his care. There are big cat sanctuaries and zoos that are better able to provide both proper care and a safe way to view these animals without walking up to them.
@@FootballManagerTaraz dude just stop. No one asked you about your opinion on lion vs tiger size. Someone always has to do it though so I guess you figured it would be you.
Forget destroying the habitats, motherfucks are just plain killing the animals for pelts and trophies. Thank you for taking care of these cats man, you got some balls of steel and a big heart lol
+halley martin Thank you for that educated response. Most people see cats like these in cages and assume they're treated like circus animals. I'm sure they love it, if they didn't they would show signs of aggression.. look how comfortable they are!
They really are just big kitties. ...with razor sharp teeth and incredible strength and the ability to rip a person to shreds without breaking a sweat. Beautiful animals.
It seems like they are happy, well fed , and well adjusted. I'm sure they are safer where they are. Good for him , the world needs more people like him who could make a difference for any animal species.
I know people always say "they're dangerous, they can kill you if they want!" Yes, but the thing is, when you raise them, and you feed them, they DON'T want to. If you take care of them, they're intelligent enough to understand that without you they're doomed, and they love you for that. The biggest part of dealing with big cats (or any animal for that matter) is that, if you show them, that you're afraid, they see you as a challenge, and they don't back down. Big cats, and even like, wolves, bears, foxes, etc, all can create the same bond with you that they would with their family. But you have to be willing to be on their level, don't be a human, try to feel as they do, be as they are, and "become" the animal, and you can create these bonds with any animal. I do it all the time out in the wild with birds, squirrels, feral cats, random dogs etc. They may have killer instincts, but if you don't pose a reason for their instincts to kick in, you will be completely safe.
People flipping out in the comments about how dangerous this is. Lol. This guy clearly knows that. But he's willing to take those risks. People do all kinds of life-threatening jobs that could kill them everyday. Police, firefighters, military, etc. Some people enjoy the danger and thrill. And we need people like this guy willing to take on these dangerous jobs
The real cat he should be worried about is that brown and black one at 1:07. That thing looks like a killer and there has to be a reason he gives all that food to it.
This guy literally has THE most amazing job ever!!😄😄 Best of luck to him and his organization and its continued success! There needs to be more like him
I think many animals in captivity have it better and are safer than if they were in the wild. The owners seem to love them, give them plenty of food and care... They also have less chances to become extinct.
That Siberian Tiger is pretty big. He's the same size as this 700 pound Lion named Zamba that I was reading about. The two Lions that he has look like adolescents.
Razatiger Ault That's nonsense. Lions regularly outweigh even the heaviest species of Tigers. Even big cat expert Peter Jackson concedes that there is some discrepancy about which cat is actually bigger.
MasterC2121 where the fuck are you getting your facts from? just because on average there are more remaining Lions than Siberian tigers, does not mean that the average lion is bigger than a Siberian. Bone structure going down to canines, claws and overall muscle mass, the Siberian tigers frame is larger than a Barbary lion, now if you want to argue against hard evidence ill call you a fool, in captive, Siberian tigers regularly grow above 700 pounds, while that would be considered a big lion. I have had friends who worked at zoos and told me that their siberian tigers consume more food than their lions to keep their mass up, tigers are solitary stealthy ambush predator, so they have to be amazingly powerful, lions are pack predators and sacrifice power for a more slender build to conserve more stamina and speed. a Tiger has a deadlier bite, stronger paw swipe and a farther leap, this evidence cannot be denied because it is not theory, it is fact. good day.
Razatiger Ault Bro...you can't be serious? Did you not hear the man in the clip describe his 700 pound Tiger as being above average? Secondly, it is fallacious to say that Lions don't regularly reach the same size. For example, the Lion that I was talking about, named Zamba, weighed 700 pounds as well. It is actually a big myth that Tigers are bigger; otherwise the two species wouldn't overlap in size. So yes, good day!
MasterC2121 above average for a Siberian in general yes, but not in captive, my toronto zoo has 4 siberian tigers all over 700 pounds, the biggest being 830 pounds. Also you don't understand how arugments work, you must give me fact that this is the case not your word, it is already clearly documented that a siberian tiger is the largest feline on the planet. unless you have scientific research, your theory is as good as dead.
They aren't in small cement enclosures looking beaten and sick, they look clean and happy, they're safe from hunters. But most importantly they clearly love that man
they don't love him back. it is very rare that a human creates a true bond with a predatory cat...especially this size. I think the lion is more likely to bond because they are social cats which is rare in the feline world. I don't want any harm to come to him but think it's reckless to interact with some of nature's top predators. these animals would be better off at a sanctuary or game reserve where they can live a more free existence.
A tiger will kill it's own cub once it's mature if they bump into them. People have begun to assign so many human emotions to animals. I love animals and do feel they are capable of emotions we once previously didn't attribute to them, but they can't think in the same way as a person. They have some capacity for affection, but instinct is stronger. A cat is generally a solitary animal. I believe, as I said, that there are rare cases where a tremendous bond can form but not as often as people who believe they have that bond. Google the tv show fatal attractions...animal planet I think. That show barely scratches the surface of the many, many privately owned dangerous animals in the US. It's scary that animals like lions and tigers are easier to get, with fewer regulations, than a dog in many states. Many animals who supposedly loved their owners, turned on and killed them. I'm honestly not criticizing you or your opinion. I truly feel badly that, due to greed, people breed animals that should never be a pet. There are so many dogs and cats euthanized each year because people are irresponsible and don't realize that buying a pet is a 10-20 year responsibility (more in some types of pets). At least when these get loose they rarely pose a significant risk to people. I've read so many sad stories and just think that, if you love something truly, you want the best for it and that might be giving it up.
Thank you Jparodyy :) You also do...there really are a lot of comments that are truly too harsh and outright mean. I wish this guy the best and definitely hope he and the cats continue to have a good relationship with no problems. I do believe he has good intentions even if they may be a little misguided : )
People like you who helps these awesome majestic animals are awesome! Wish there was more like you! And I truly wish you and your animals long happy lives. If I ever hit the lotto I will help many like you!!
***** I respect that guy's courage. I'd do the same thing if I raised a big cat. But a big cat doesn't know that humans don't have a thick hide like them. They're play fighting can still be dangerous. I'd be pretty stupid if I had the option to be safe from anything but an intentional attack, and not take it, when playing around with 500+ pound cats. And to responded to your comment, at least a vagina is less vulnerable than a dick, lol.
Completely agree with this guy, as long as they're happy and have a good quality of life, then there's no reason why he can't keep them in captivity, and no one really knows how long we'll be able to see them for
Not really, on the "just have a good job" comment because there are only a handful of jobs in the world which will support that kind of expense. The story said they list themselves as a "non-profit education center," so besides whatever admission they charge, they don't pay taxes on that income-- you pay their taxes in forms of whatever gov. subsidies they get. That's how people live off shady "non-profits" of all kinds, which are rampant in Florida, by the way.
Rudy_Eila They actually have a contract with a grocery store that sells them close to expired meat that is no longer legal to sell for human consumption. The meat comes at a greatly reduced price, and helps to prevent wasting so much meat in today's society. That's how the majority of big cat sanctuaries are able to feed their animals.
In most cases it's wrong to keep exotic animals but these cats genuinely seem well cared for and socialized. They don't pose a risk like a big cat that is raised in captivity by people who don't bother to learn their behaviors or give the cats an opportunity to use their instincts. As so many of these type of animals are losing their habitats it's people like this that will keep these cats from extinction whether you like it or not.
this guy is right...we people take away animals habitat....they have just as right to live well like we do....they have their own families and life on their own...
You'd be surprised how someone who respects wild animals while having them around since birth can really live among the wild. Ask Kevin Richardson. He's been raising Lions, Hyenas and other animals for the last 20 years. I'd see his two closed Lions named Meg and Amy would protect him before letting him get hurt.
In this case of being in captivity-I feel they are better off.They are fed well, healthy and seem to be happy. Their living area was very clean and also plenty of space for them all.The owner has a heart for these big cats!
Does god keep African children safe??? no, that's because god isn't real and the bible is fake and stupid it was written by a random guy and people started worshiping it
Contrary to beliefs men like this do more for the wild then most people can possibly imagine and me as an animal enthusiast I'm quite happy to see someone doing there part to help out
I'm glad this person is taking care of them. In the wild, they get hunted and live in constant fear. Here, they get to live peacefully. We really need less humans on earth. We are destroying this planet.
I know for a fact Steve Irwin would approve this big cat enthusiast . I respect this mans love and respect for big cats. He is right about billions of people on this planet and the wild and trees are being pushed nowadays. He definitely takes care of em. Much love. 💙
LOVE IT!!! I think he does a great job and definitely has some valid points! These cats aren't inside a 5x5 cage, and they seem very happy! I absolutely agree with Videos like this raising awareness and appreciation for these Cats! It wasn't until Kevin Richardson that I got involved in stepping up and raising my voice. And yes, where is the wild? They are constantly on the run from humans, poachers or other short man syndrome trophy hunters. Here, they are safe, get love and food? I see nothing wrong with this! They are cognizant and aware of their surroundings. People that bitch about this Video should rather go and beat those that work at circuses who beat their Animals until they do what they want them to do!!!
Hell nah. "I had a leopard bite me once in the nose. Got a couple of stitches but ya know, that's part of the job" what the hell? Naaahhh noooo. Not meeee. I would've sent that leopard back to wild. Forreal hahaa..
These animals look really well fed and really well taken care of. Better this than risk them being poached, I guess. As long as they're kept well fed, he really has nothing to worry about. Besides, they're incredibly affectionate towards him, like if he were one of them.
@@jyhiyrfjkgcjvrykexj2181 there aren't more muscular than a tiger who lives in Siberia? get your facts right dude! the most powerful is clearly the tiger, but pound for pound the jaguar actually is the strongest cat and not only in terms of bite force.
Maddy :x The average for Amur or Siberian Tigers is 600 to 650 pounds. I'm quite sure Samson doesn't have to skip many meals...and they are the biggest cats on the planet.
Normally no, Siberian Tigers rarely get to that weight in the wild. Some Male Lions can get as big as 600 lbs. in captivity but you never really see a Lion weigh that much in the wild.

lyon laurent you must look at kevin richardson videos on youtube
lyon laurent Well i agree as long as it's not a zoo with a very small enclosure. I hate when they cut the natural habitat of roam free.
Goratchthemule yes those small cages are horrible
Maybe they should build bigger and wider cages for the animal so that they could roam a lot more.
Imagine lions and tigers walking up straight?
They ll be so tall!
Look at the fucking size of the 700lb tiger! Imagine trying to walk him! Haha
James Brewer he'd walk you
Climbers Of Ice Yeah no point in even having a collar and lead lol

That Siberian Tiger is pretty big. He's the same size as this 700 pound Lion named Zamba that I was reading about. The two Lions that he has look like adolescents.
If the lions are two or under they are referred to as sub-adults...you know I will have to watch the video...
Razatiger Ault That's nonsense. Lions regularly outweigh even the heaviest species of Tigers. Even big cat expert Peter Jackson concedes that there is some discrepancy about which cat is actually bigger.
MasterC2121 where the fuck are you getting your facts from? just because on average there are more remaining Lions than Siberian tigers, does not mean that the average lion is bigger than a Siberian. Bone structure going down to canines, claws and overall muscle mass, the Siberian tigers frame is larger than a Barbary lion, now if you want to argue against hard evidence ill call you a fool, in captive, Siberian tigers regularly grow above 700 pounds, while that would be considered a big lion. I have had friends who worked at zoos and told me that their siberian tigers consume more food than their lions to keep their mass up, tigers are solitary stealthy ambush predator, so they have to be amazingly powerful, lions are pack predators and sacrifice power for a more slender build to conserve more stamina and speed. a Tiger has a deadlier bite, stronger paw swipe and a farther leap, this evidence cannot be denied because it is not theory, it is fact. good day.
Razatiger Ault Bro...you can't be serious? Did you not hear the man in the clip describe his 700 pound Tiger as being above average? Secondly, it is fallacious to say that Lions don't regularly reach the same size. For example, the Lion that I was talking about, named Zamba, weighed 700 pounds as well. It is actually a big myth that Tigers are bigger; otherwise the two species wouldn't overlap in size. So yes, good day!
MasterC2121 above average for a Siberian in general yes, but not in captive, my toronto zoo has 4 siberian tigers all over 700 pounds, the biggest being 830 pounds. Also you don't understand how arugments work, you must give me fact that this is the case not your word, it is already clearly documented that a siberian tiger is the largest feline on the planet. unless you have scientific research, your theory is as good as dead.
They aren't in small cement enclosures looking beaten and sick, they look clean and happy, they're safe from hunters. But most importantly they clearly love that man
Wow, so many whiners & haters in here lol. He's taking care of them & they love him back, deal with it.
they don't love him back. it is very rare that a human creates a true bond with a predatory cat...especially this size. I think the lion is more likely to bond because they are social cats which is rare in the feline world. I don't want any harm to come to him but think it's reckless to interact with some of nature's top predators. these animals would be better off at a sanctuary or game reserve where they can live a more free existence.
Hallie Horn "they don't love him back"?
Proof?
A tiger will kill it's own cub once it's mature if they bump into them. People have begun to assign so many human emotions to animals. I love animals and do feel they are capable of emotions we once previously didn't attribute to them, but they can't think in the same way as a person. They have some capacity for affection, but instinct is stronger. A cat is generally a solitary animal. I believe, as I said, that there are rare cases where a tremendous bond can form but not as often as people who believe they have that bond. Google the tv show fatal attractions...animal planet I think. That show barely scratches the surface of the many, many privately owned dangerous animals in the US. It's scary that animals like lions and tigers are easier to get, with fewer regulations, than a dog in many states. Many animals who supposedly loved their owners, turned on and killed them. I'm honestly not criticizing you or your opinion. I truly feel badly that, due to greed, people breed animals that should never be a pet. There are so many dogs and cats euthanized each year because people are irresponsible and don't realize that buying a pet is a 10-20 year responsibility (more in some types of pets). At least when these get loose they rarely pose a significant risk to people. I've read so many sad stories and just think that, if you love something truly, you want the best for it and that might be giving it up.
Hallie Horn I guess you have a point. Lol
Thank you Jparodyy :) You also do...there really are a lot of comments that are truly too harsh and outright mean. I wish this guy the best and definitely hope he and the cats continue to have a good relationship with no problems. I do believe he has good intentions even if they may be a little misguided : )
You're an amazing person and the bond you have with them is strong. I'd love to visit them one day.
People like you who helps these awesome majestic animals are awesome! Wish there was more like you! And I truly wish you and your animals long happy lives. If I ever hit the lotto I will help many like you!!
I would at least wear body armor.
***** I respect that guy's courage. I'd do the same thing if I raised a big cat. But a big cat doesn't know that humans don't have a thick hide like them. They're play fighting can still be dangerous. I'd be pretty stupid if I had the option to be safe from anything but an intentional attack, and not take it, when playing around with 500+ pound cats.
And to responded to your comment, at least a vagina is less vulnerable than a dick, lol.
+20teamplayer you told him lol!!
+The Launching Pad LMFAO srs
+The Launching Pad LOLOL
+20teamplayer Lol I get that. Something around the neck which just gives you abit or a layer before skin would be smart but yeah.
That's so sweet it really shows how lovely big cats can really be
At 2:57 tiger's arm is larger than the man's head. LOL
Completely agree with this guy, as long as they're happy and have a good quality of life, then there's no reason why he can't keep them in captivity, and no one really knows how long we'll be able to see them for
I always wonder... how can these people afford keeping these animals??? 200 pounds of meat a day??? Doesn't that cost like at least $1,000??
You just have to have a good job.
Not really, on the "just have a good job" comment because there are only a handful of jobs in the world which will support that kind of expense. The story said they list themselves as a "non-profit education center," so besides whatever admission they charge, they don't pay taxes on that income-- you pay their taxes in forms of whatever gov. subsidies they get. That's how people live off shady "non-profits" of all kinds, which are rampant in Florida, by the way.
Rudy_Eila They actually have a contract with a grocery store that sells them close to expired meat that is no longer legal to sell for human consumption. The meat comes at a greatly reduced price, and helps to prevent wasting so much meat in today's society. That's how the majority of big cat sanctuaries are able to feed their animals.
Rudy_Eila They probably have contracts with ranchers and hunters to help them provide the meat they need on a daily basis.
Rudy_Eila He most likely gets donations
1:00 Good Lord, that tiger is huge!
Those big beautiful killing machines are so gorgeous and majestic. I really want one!
camilowish epic comment!
Just be sure you can properly care for it and know what you are doing that's all I can ask
In most cases it's wrong to keep exotic animals but these cats genuinely seem well cared for and socialized. They don't pose a risk like a big cat that is raised in captivity by people who don't bother to learn their behaviors or give the cats an opportunity to use their instincts. As so many of these type of animals are losing their habitats it's people like this that will keep these cats from extinction whether you like it or not.
The two babies playing with their "daddy" at the end of the clip - cuuute!
I'm so jealous of this man...
Faith in humanity restored
No. This is only one guy.
A big thank you for caring for these Beautiful big cats xx ❤️
this guy is right...we people take away animals habitat....they have just as right to live well like we do....they have their own families and life on their own...
There's still plenty of habitat for them, I don't think 30,000 lions live in a city, It's just a poor excuse for him keeping them
+DEUnknownPLAY3R you'd be surprised how easy an specie could go extinct these days
There soo beautiful and majestic
nadz lynch they're ***
This man is so lucky to have you tigers 😍😍
This guy will probably go before his time. But he'll have had fun. :)
One swat from Samson should b enough or at least to paralyze him.
You'd be surprised how someone who respects wild animals while having them around since birth can really live among the wild.
Ask Kevin Richardson. He's been raising Lions, Hyenas and other animals for the last 20 years.
I'd see his two closed Lions named Meg and Amy would protect him before letting him get hurt.
Beautiful animals! That would be so awesome to have them as pets.
Carl is a badass and Kia seems very sweet. Looks like a great establishment that actually cares for their animals. Good to see.
Look how happy the cats are,they belong right there where there safe and loved
Everyone calls me the " Crazy cat lady " I never been nervous 2:14 Outside the cage like *Damn it's feels good to be a gangsta* 😂😭😭😂
*"I love cats"*
The cats :
In this case of being in captivity-I feel they are better off.They are fed well, healthy and seem to be happy. Their living area was very clean and also plenty of space for them all.The owner has a heart for these big cats!
i wish you with ALL my heart mate God always keeps u safe
This could've been God's plan for him!
me too... he has a good vision for the animals... he is very dedicated.. hope he'll be safe for the rest of his life..
Does god keep African children safe??? no, that's because god isn't real and the bible is fake and stupid it was written by a random guy and people started worshiping it
+MaStur Chi3f I'm glad someone else here has common sense.
He is interacting with killing machines, you can give him as much best wishes as you like but I think he will end up death or badly badly injured.
One of the cutest animal Tiger it is endangered species now we have to make efforts to protect tigers
It is sooo cute that the massive tiger is drinking out of a baby bottle
They really really LOVE him
2:59 look at the size of his head compare to human, incredible
The guy has a huge head too
Contrary to beliefs men like this do more for the wild then most people can possibly imagine and me as an animal enthusiast I'm quite happy to see someone doing there part to help out
I'm glad this person is taking care of them. In the wild, they get hunted and live in constant fear. Here, they get to live peacefully. We really need less humans on earth. We are destroying this planet.
I know for a fact Steve Irwin would approve this big cat enthusiast . I respect this mans love and respect for big cats. He is right about billions of people on this planet and the wild and trees are being pushed nowadays. He definitely takes care of em. Much love. 💙
LOVE IT!!! I think he does a great job and definitely has some valid points! These cats aren't inside a 5x5 cage, and they seem very happy! I absolutely agree with Videos like this raising awareness and appreciation for these Cats! It wasn't until Kevin Richardson that I got involved in stepping up and raising my voice. And yes, where is the wild? They are constantly on the run from humans, poachers or other short man syndrome trophy hunters. Here, they are safe, get love and food? I see nothing wrong with this! They are cognizant and aware of their surroundings. People that bitch about this Video should rather go and beat those that work at circuses who beat their Animals until they do what they want them to do!!!
+Gordidhaliwal Dhaliwal What?
Exactly
+germanylicious They seem happy and content probably more so than if they were in the wild.
+Zoney06 ع
Hell nah. "I had a leopard bite me once in the nose. Got a couple of stitches but ya know, that's part of the job" what the hell? Naaahhh noooo. Not meeee. I would've sent that leopard back to wild. Forreal hahaa..
LEOPARD BIT YOU? THE HELL! WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?!!!
Mario Datzit lol yeah thats what he said. he said a leopard bit him. yet hes still taking care of them! oh no.
Faith
EXACTLY! WELL, BEFORE I WATCHED THIS PROGRAM. I READ WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN. AND I AUTOMATICALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE THAT WAS BITTEN. OOPS!
Mario Datzit lol um okay. well it wasnt me. i was talking about him.
Faith
I KNOW, I ASKED BEFORE I VIEWED THE VIDEO. PEACE...
WOW. Thank you so much for taking care of these animals. I really value this pure love of animals. Miracle in people seeing this.
Well that Samson the Siberian tiger is one huge beast... In good condition as well hreat specimen he's got there.
These animals look really well fed and really well taken care of. Better this than risk them being poached, I guess. As long as they're kept well fed, he really has nothing to worry about. Besides, they're incredibly affectionate towards him, like if he were one of them.
That tiger is huge
I'm Olivia I'm six years old and I can't believe I'm watching a video where man takes care of a lot of lot of lot of Wild cats
If you are 6 years old u shouldn't have a youtube account ngl

ED kratos Rich? What is rich? What makes you rich?
3:03 aw look at that lick, he loves him
AWWW, I'm SO envious! I want to play with big kitties! ♡♡
awww that's a really close bond if it's licking you 🎉🎉
Lol@ the end..."hi pretty girl..aw you gon get right on top"...
1:00 I never knew that the tiger was so much tall
I hope he stays safe and gives those big cats the love and attention they deserve
“I never give them a free shot at my neck”
Also this guy: 2:50
That's his arm
I wish him all the happiness, but don't be surprised if he ever got hurt pretty seriously.
This is great. He understands they are beasts of the wild and respects them for their nature.
The most funniest thing that these loins and tigers are more loyal than my friends, like not gonna lie.
Having a big cat like that would be purrrrrrrrfect
cat gets hungry bites tour arm purfect indeed XD
oeeeeee i saw what you did there!
The world needs more of these people
Damn that Samson is a freaking beast
pesiuber That tiger arm is as big as his body
Lions are more powerful
@@abhyakc2873
Lions have larger more powerful limbs
@@jyhiyrfjkgcjvrykexj2181 there aren't more muscular than a tiger who lives in Siberia? get your facts right dude! the most powerful is clearly the tiger, but pound for pound the jaguar actually is the strongest cat and not only in terms of bite force.
@@jonathanbelfort5650
The cougar is the strongest pound for pound, and The Lion is strongest
How did I get from watching videos about 8 week old german shepherds to huge fucken tigers
Trying doing that to a lion in meru national park,Kenya.....your children will be orphans 😂😂😁😁
Awwwww, those animals are so so soooooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WISH I HAD A PET TIGER 🐯
0:55 - 700 pound Siberian Tiger Samson...... I'm Fucking DONE!! do Tigers really weigh this much!?...thats about 200 pounds heavier than African Lions!
yeah haha siberian tigers are the biggest cats by far, beasts!! and they are hunting alone, i guess he would kill a male lion easily
its siberian..tigers do gain that weight normally..but not all the other breeds..others are just as African lion..
Maddy :x The average for Amur or Siberian Tigers is 600 to 650 pounds. I'm quite sure Samson doesn't have to skip many meals...and they are the biggest cats on the planet.
IIRC, tigers do have a stronger bite and been known to kill lions, with documented events in zoos and circus.
Normally no, Siberian Tigers rarely get to that weight in the wild. Some Male Lions can get as big as 600 lbs. in captivity but you never really see a Lion weigh that much in the wild.
