Animal behaviourist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night curled up with them without the slightest fear of attack.
Richardson, 32, who is based in a wildlife conservation area near Johannesburg in South Africa, works his unusual magic on other species too. Cheetahs, leopards and even unpredictable hyenas hold no threats for him.
"This just in…Kevin Richardson, the beloved lion tamer, was found mauled. Tragic, yet somewhat predictable."
I wonder if this guy ever has people over for dinner…
