    Thank you so much Jon for sharing these amazing videos with us here on TH-cam! If I weren't physically disabled, I would truly sign up for this trip. I don't know if I would be able to "keep up" or do some of the things that I see you all doing. Who knows, maybe I'll continue to heal myself and get to experience the Joy that this would bring! Thank you again! Namaste~

    Love the big ears on the caracel. I'm so glad you've done these videos and shared your adventures with us (and, it looks like, gotten some more folks to volunteer). Thank you. I would never want to leave, I fear.

    • @jonathan

    Thanks Thomas. I have a Gopro but I didn't use it this video. For this video I used a Canon 60D and a Canon powershot 110 HS. I liked both but I personally had more interaction with the lions at Living With Big Cats

    @TheCutiBear 10 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I don't see how you can suppress your fear of these big cats just attacking out and eating you out of nowhere so brave o.o

    • @amandah2866
      @amandah2866 10 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      They appear to be hand raised so it's highly unlikely that any of them would attack in a totally wild manner. It's more likely they'd get too excited and hurt you that way but they wouldn't kill you.

  • @jonathan
    @jonathan  10 ปีที่แล้ว

    They are hand raised animals so they're used to being around people. They are still wild animals though and there is no way to guarantee they won't. But they would usually only do that if they were provoked somehow so we just had to be really careful. This is why we could only interact with some animals and not all of them

  • @jermaineflanigan9983

    Your videos are incredible. I'm preparing my trip as a volunteer. I watched some or them twice.
    2 questions :
    - your camera, is it a go pro ?
    - i 'm hesitating between living with lions or bug cats. Which one is the best to get closer to the animals, touch them and to cuddles Cubs ?
