You can really tell that Kaitlyn and Giles have a strong level of trust between them. Most animals are fiercely protective of their young, and yet she had no problem with him being there scratching her ear and even holding the cubs the next morning. Granted she was within attacking distance if he tried anything but she really seemed relaxed when he was around. It really goes to show just how much the people at Australia Zoo care about their animals.
