I want to ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride the tiger.

Ahem... remember Siegfried & Roy?

Oh, um... well make that a Lion.

There, much more gooder, but I must confess it's not me.

It's Askold Zapashny of Zapashny Brothers Circus, in Russia.

Crazy Russians. Is that a microphone or a scar on his face? Weird anyway.
Oh, nevermind - it's the fence...

the fence. I had to look twice.

That's clearly cut-rate armor. It won't protect him for a minute when the time comes.

Me. Yow.

The trick isn't riding the lion. The trick is safely getting OFF of the lion.

Not to mention the head and neck will be the first place he takes his bite.

ASLAN!

Just want to say, fan of Seigfried and Roy. Especially Roy and his ability to train. Blah blah blah one of his cats attacked him. Not according to Roy. He believes he'd already had his first stroke when the cat grabbed him, and in fact that the cat had picked up on this and therefore grabbed him and dragged him off stage to protect him. How is a cat supposed to know what else to do? Anyway medically this version can't be authenticated or disproved since Roy had multiple strokes, and the doctors could not determine the time of the first stroke. As we should all know that although Seigfried and Roy have had their last performance, Roy has made a marvelous recovery, well beyond what were the best predictions. He still loves his animals, although spends less time with his big cats.
I watched the documentary a month or two ago, can you tell?
Anyway, this guy looks like a douche.

Are we pretty sure that isn't a shark?

You can tell the Lion droppings because they have little shards of cheap armor in them...

The middle picture is a gem, Bruce. Extraordinary.

The concept of caging big cats and making them perform tricks totally against their nature is anathema to me though. It brings me over all PETA. And I don't mean naked,
