some people love animals more than they

love their own families if you've never

heard of the beast buddies prepare for a
world of big egos big cats and big money
because these animal owners are so
obsessed with their exotic pets they
risk sanity and safety to live together
these are people who've brought some of
the most dangerous or unusual animals
into their homes or left society to go
and live with them completely we're not
sure if these guys qualify as animal
owners or if it isn't the other way
around
in any case today we're talking men
who've joined wolf pack's grannies
who've moved in with bears and even a
man who's adopted a pet alligator for
emotional support so hold on tight and
get ready to meet the seven craziest
beast buddies in the world
number seven Kevin Richardson the lion
whisperer meet Kevin Richardson also
known as the lion whisperer is famous
for getting dangerously close to some of
the world's largest wild cats every
fiber in our being would tell us not to
cozy up with animals as dangerous as
lions but it's clear that Richardson's
lines don't plan on eating him he
doesn't at all seem preoccupied around
them at all quite the opposite in fact
they snuggle up to him like lazy house
cats and even nap in a pile with them
this doesn't mean he's domesticated them
in any way but they do tolerate him
rather peacefully it's as if they've led
him into their pride somehow as if he
were an odd furless human shaped lion be
it as it may
Kevin Richardson's unique relationship
with some of Africa's apex predators has
opened many doors and captivated the
imagination of many people throughout
the world

life to eating sleeping and living
amongst a pack of wolves Shaun regularly
leaves society and spends months at a
time living like a full-on wolf showing
us so dedicated to his new lifestyle
that he rarely washes himself only eats
meat and sleeps on the floor when he's
on the road with his new wolf friends
you'd think it'd be hard to find an
actual human life partner while living
under such circumstances but after
meeting his soon-to-be wife Isla at a
friend's house the couple totally hit it
off and got married in a Native American
style wedding last year
needless to say Shaun is now teaching
Isla to live like a wolf as well
