June 11, 2010: Good Kitty

Jamu like to be massaged and tickled, but likes "This little piggy" the best.

If anyone else tried to play This Little Piggy with a fullygrown lion, they'd be in danger of going wee wee wee all the way to casualty.
But Alex Larenty, 40, from Chipping Norton, is a fearless and highly skilled animal handler at The Lion Park near Johannesburg and is in complete control of this situation.
The beast having its paw tickled is nine-year-old Jamu (weight 550lb). 'He loves it - it's his favourite game,' said Mr Larenty, a 50-year-old Briton who moved to Africa from Oxfordshire.


Remember, 550 lbs, so adjust your recipes accordingly.;)

Fearless, highly skilled, in complete control.
It sounds more like stupid, low skilled and complete bullshit.
And by the way: Where is the Jamus dick?
spudcon • Jun 11, 2010 7:41 am
Jamus has his dick where his toes are.

Nice.


I don't see his wee-wee, but I DO see what looks like a tiny, fuzzy lion nut.

"This Little Piggy", the other white meat.

I seem to remember someone else who played around with wild animals...

^^^ if I said that wasn't funny, I'd be "lion" !
jinx • Jun 11, 2010 12:51 pm
I've played 'this little piggy' with a 6lb cat and come away wounded - this guy is a jackass.
Complete control. Uh huh.
Sheldonrs • Jun 11, 2010 1:40 pm
It doesn't take much to go from tender lion to tender loin.
BigV • Jun 11, 2010 2:04 pm
Adjust accordingly... riiiight. There's **NO WAY** that dude is 550 lbs. I don't think tartare even qualifies as a "recipe", chop (chomp?) and eat.

Wow, they did a pretty good job on his face.

I dunno. I think he looks animatronic.

The lioness behind them is thinking, "I can't believe I used to be into that weirdo toe freak."

It took the author a REALLY long time to write that article, OK?

He's consistent, too. Roughly one post every 2 years. See ya in 2012, eastepp!

Pish posh. Lions are easy. Look at me with this killer cat (taken a few weeks ago)...

See? Nothin' to it. :cool:
Trilby • Dec 25, 2010 5:21 pm
adorable!
Shawnee123 • Dec 25, 2010 11:57 pm
Glinda, I am completely jealous. And you look awesome! :)
Glinda • Dec 26, 2010 11:10 am
:o Thank you!

I hate having my picture taken (usually stand in the back behind something large), but I couldn't resist that cute little kitty, and the pics we took with him turned out great.

You can't even see how gigantic my pot-belly is! ;)
Griff • Dec 26, 2010 11:12 am
That is too cute Glinda! Did you take him home?
Glinda • Dec 26, 2010 11:25 am
I SO wanted to! I've got plenty of land here, but I think that little cutie will be better off with people properly trained to raise him. The pic was taken at Cabo san Lucas a few weeks ago when I was on vacation.

There's a booth along the beach tourist area run by a group called Wild Cabos. They're trying to raise funds to build a reservation area to preserve animals that are in danger of extinction, and to provide a place for wild animals that people tried to raise at home (and then found out how crazy that idea was once the critter got too large to manage).

They charge $20 and you get a nice 5 x 7" pic (and you can take as many pics as you want with your own camera). I suppose it could have been a scam - I don't know - but I simply could not pass up an opportunity to play with a lion cub. I mean, how often do you get a chance like that?

:)

O h Glinda - I can't believe how smiley that lion is!
Then again... he's sat in your lap, what's not to smile about.

Gorgeous.
I know what you mean about worrying it's a scam, but as long as the little chaps looked happy and healthy I think you have to take some things on trust.
xoxoxoBruce • Dec 29, 2010 8:49 am
That kitty looks stoned. :haha:
Scam or not, you certainly got your $20 worth.

Prolly wasn't as stoned as I was (we'd just eaten lunch, which included BIIIG margaritas)! :D

I completely agree, it was well worth the cost. There've been exactly ZERO opportunities for me in the past to cuddle a fat-bellied lion cub, and I don't expect there will be any more in the future, so yeah, I definitely got the best of that deal!

But you can bet, if I ever get back to Cabo, I'm going to stop by their booth again and play with whatever little critter they've got there. Ooooh yeah.
