    I would not go in that tiger cage. I like big cats, but from a distance. I would be terrified of them in person.

      Audrey Gaffney No need to fear them. They are just like our house cats but remember not to have sex with them just because they are so cute.

    • @rangogamer1386
      @rangogamer1386 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Don't worry, as long as they don't see your back they're harmless, just remember keep making eye contact with them and don't turn back on a tiger. Tigers hunt by attacking from behind, it's in their nature.

    Jon, I think what u r doing is fascinating, and very rewarding. I think what u and other volunteers are doing is great!!! If I was younger I would definitely do it too. I would help with the orangutans and gorillas too. I can’t believe that so many animals are on the endangered list. Thank u so much, I love the videos!

  • @dbeazrn3934
    @dbeazrn3934 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a couple of thoughts, since I live vicariously through you (lol) - The endangered Orangutan orphan project in Borneo or the La Loya Bonobo project in the Congo would be such rewarding experiences for anyone. There are also conservation projects in Rwanda & neighboring countries for the mountain gorillas & other species within the national parks. Bush meat & habitat loss are the greatest threats to these beautiful gorillas, many who experience seeing their mother killed & then ripped from their arms. Just some food for thought. Blessings to you for all of your volunteer work.

    Es increíble,es una sensación maravillosa tener un felino de esa envergadura en mis brazos,tuve la oportunidad de mi vida tener un cachorro de León en mis brazos y tiempo después acariciar cachorros de caracal acá en Chile.
    No entiendo porque a muchos no les gusta el vídeo,a mi parecer yo veo que están conservando la especie.
    Yo nunca eh estado allá pero agradezco que se preocupen por mantener viva la fauna.

    Jon as far as which cat might be tougher or win in a fight, is it possible you could ask any workers there who might have seen a fight between the lion or tiger and might know?
