I really thought that it was obvious with the fish remark but your right, next time i am sarcastic i will attach a link to a site containing all the information one would need to decipher the sarcasm i lay before you my Unknown Prince. Never again will I let my ignorance and pride hinder me from presenting myself in a matter that will please even the most humble of minds, for in this day and age, a man is only worth what he can present and the manner that that man chooses to present it in. For centuries we dueled in the mist of confusion that laid thick and dark over the lands and having this illusion divide the sanity of our fellow humans in a way that makes their brains function with abnormal characteristics, so it makes it in a way our duty to be there and always have the right arsenal of words to trigger and enjoy the effects of.

Its so incredibie what you do! I hope people help in such a noble cause!

[@toriw8255]

watch some idiot see this video then go out in the middle of Africa waiting for a lion to come, screaming on top of their lungs, expecting a hug

[@MrSayon20]

Kind of like when people wanna have sex the first day they meet someone.

[@EternityWish]

september2233 : I don't care about the human idiots getting mauled. The lions (and other mammals) have been killed afterwards because of these people's stupidity.

[@oneplumpboi5317]

In certain cases, I'd probably shoot the person being mauled. If it's a child... I'd probably do something to get him out, without killing the animal... her.. herumbe?

The Lions are hugging like ,I love you don't you know that 😍😍😍

As a lion, I love humans. But mostly for the meat when available and hungry.

Those lion hugs have got to be the best!! I cannot think of anything better!!❤

[@watercolours9492]

How the heck isn't he more famous like Steve Irwin? He should be invited to major talk shows. He is even more impressive than Steve imo because the lions really love him and consider him as family. That is amazing.

[@amacuro]

He is finally having some success. He should have a TV show, his channel should be Discovery Channel haha he had a few episodes like 10 years ago but he should be a world star

[@mollyava7327]

Water Colours He's AWESOME but there's no reason to put down Steve Irwin because of it.. sheesh xD

[@jackleo4435]

Water Colours Becuase Steve Irwin worked with killing machines that could crush a human skull with a single bite and that grew up to 20 feet long and weighed up to a ton and outlived the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago, and have been known to kill lions, that's why.

[@MarcoCortex]

Jack Leo jJjjjAjaa omg that's definitely true

[@tylerchapman3013]

[@CliffJumpingProd]

amazing how tame that human was.. and how brave of the lions to just cuddle with the most dangerous animal on the planet :O lolololol

[@liverpool6058]

Actually so much truth behind this comment

[@AllucB]

I know right. They're known for killing anything pretty much.. Very brave lions

[@zephirintoualeu904]

the most dangerous animal on the planet is the human,

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

"anything pretty much", name something us humans haven't killed? It's a sad world we live in, if I'm honest. So much hate towards our own species, yet animals always find something in some of us that they admire, trust and love unconditionally, like a dog :).... or in this case, a Lion.

[@AllucB]

JoeyandLindsay You do realize I was referring to our own species right?

[@mrfaithandphysics]

I would like to thank everyone who has shown solidarity. I knew I couldn't be alone, and every plus of solidarity has brought a moment of happiness into my life. Since any solution to this problem will require that which makes the world go around, and since so few of us have it anymore, perhaps we should focus on developing and presenting a plea to those who do have money. My clear and present understanding over the last few years has been this: if it makes a buck, it will happen, like it or not, up to destroying our "nest". If it doesn't make a buck, it will never, ever happen, no matter how much we need it, right up to saving the world itself. It won't happen unless it's profitable to do so. This is what we have done to ourselves. And to the innocent creatures that had no voice in the game. This game is rigged. How is it not everyone has had enough? So many still root for it. Think our system gives everyone a fair chance. Perhaps, if you are human, white, male, and from a wealthy family to start with. These magnificent cats are none of the above.

[@markskalvans237]

mrfaithandphysics If i was a billionare,i swear,i would spend lots of my cash on saving these beings.

[@mrfaithandphysics]

jones marks I hear ya. I mean, just look at the thumbnail for the video. It says it all. I guess we have to leave it to the Africans and just focus on the wildlife we have where we live. They are all disappearing. The first mass extinction caused by human activity. And it is as bad as any in the past. Or soon will be, at the current rate of die-offs.

he probably has to wash the scent of hyenas off him before he goes to see the lions and vice versa
