  • John kicks ass. Thank you for doing what you do. It is an incredible job as such and I am sure the tigers thank you for it. I actually named my first dog Julie after your tiger. She is just such a bad ass.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!

  • Piss out of my ass!

  • John Varty was born in 1950, Year of the Tiger;

    Li Quan, the founder of "Save China's Tigers" in 2000, was born in 1962, Year of the Tiger;

    Kevin Richardson, "the Lion Whisperer", was born in 1974, Year of the Tiger.

    Destiny calling?

  • Mandewashere and JUDALATION: You're both wrong. Problem solved.

    No, it isn't right if cattle is killed by big cats, people need to live. But the cats need to live, too, and cattle grazing in Africa is far more destructive to the environment than the big cats are.

    And where the hell do you get off calling people child killers based on their country of origin? Mandehwashere isn't calling you a xenophobe for being South African, a nation that does not have a great racial track record. Ridonculous.

  • this whole show is a setup. wow a piglet conveniently placed in area where the tiger canpounce at without even having to chase it.

  • I hate commercial...

    

  • this guy has a great idea. man has never made a good idea for nature, but fingers crossed on tigers in africa. they look like they'd be able to hold their own in africa. the only threat i see if (besides man) is a large pride of lions. then again, seems like everything on all fours are threated by that. it would be funny if the african tiger were able to mate with cheetah's lol. so long swahili tribe.

    make more wideo's, i'm glued.

  • Is it bad that I find Seatao's and Julie's 'tiger kiss' adorable?

  • So many people showing such anger towards people's attempts at teaching captive cats to be wild again, why? This work is exciting stuff. IM SURE there will be a standard protocol made in the future about how to do this properly, but UNTIL THEN this will have to do... Or lock them away in zoos again, which would you "enlightened" animal experts prefer

  • This is a phenomenal video. Thank you for making this film!!!! it's important for the preservation of this magnificent (and at times affectionate to humans) specie!

  • this is such bullshit!! these are just pets in a fucking fence area, what wild? laughable. put these spoil pet tigers in the real wild and they are dead meat. this is a joke, this dud just have money to waste.

  • INTERESTING. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS VIDEO?

  • Excellent! Thumbs Up!

  • the way the babies shake their head is like a bobble head! SOOOO ADORABLE

  • why the hell did i get a boner!!

  • I love the fact that somebody has the guts to do this kind of work but did "Tiger Man" ever hear of "Grizzly Man" that ended pretty badly.

  • Julie is such a slut...!! but very impressive set of tigers!

  • Why are these nominal scientist trying to repopulate the Tigers? We south Africans hate them! These tigers kill over 600 people a year and they kill our cattle... We will keep killing all the tigers not in captivity! If you bastards want the big cats so much take them out of our SA!

  • @JUDALATION I hope you get shot by the LRA !!

  • @pitbullfiend5 The LRA is not in South Africa you moron! People >Lions. Do you want these wild Animals in your back yard? We will poision some dead calf and kill the Lions.. One pride killed over 140 people in the past and whenever their primary prey is low in numbers they attack villages. I have seen these animals face to face and they are killers! not pets!

  • @JUDALATION You live in THEIR territory, they don't live in yours. You should respect them and build your life around their existence, not try to eradicate them off the planet just so you can save your ridiculous cows. Build fences, mind your herds better, take precautions. You choose to live there, the tigers don't. It's your type of ignorance in the world that will end up fucking us all in the end.

  • @LiquidFriction Wow... TIGERS ARE NOT NATIVE TO AFRICA YOU IDIOT! Im not going to let a DUMB ASS place TIGERS in my COUNTRY! And HOW DARE you claim that LIONS have land? This is OUR LAND and we will do what WE PLEASE with it wether you like it OR NOT! We will do whats in OUR BEST INTEREST! and if we need to take more land to farm than WE WILL! our countries are the least developed and Outsiders from developed countries are telling us not to develope? Do you think you own Africa? WE OWN AFRICA!

  • @JUDALATION shut up you troll your all talk faggot. I didnt say the LRA is in SA but that doesnt change the fact that I want you to get shot and raped by 1 of your own villagers instead of feeling threatened by wild animals. Keep talking you wont do anything you just want attention that your wild titties hanging out mother never gave you. Go catch aids!!

  • @pitbullfiend5 Lol Typical idiotic American RACIST...so All South Africans are Villagers with aids With their tits hanging out... We have been killing Lions for Thousands of years. Nothing will change that. You worry about your country killing innocent children with drone attacks. You Americans cannot debate woth logic so you throw stupid ad homenim attacks at someone you dont even know. Tigers dont belong in Africa. They will be Killed. This is our land. Worry about the Kids you kill not SA!

  • @JUDALATION If you hate America so much why do you claim it in your profile homo? Typical insecure piece of shit...use the race card its the easiest way. No all South Africans arent villagers but the majority of the ones having wild animal problems are. Not like tigers and lions roam the streets of big well developed cities. And no not all South Africans have aids but the majority who do live in villages with no access to healthcare and no sexual education.

  • @pitbullfiend5 After all the things you said you call me racist? I never said I hated America because I was Born there, But My parents are SA and I live there. Tell you what, Lets have a trouce! I wont tell Americans not to invade countries for oil, Likk innocent children to catch illiterate terroist, Support dictators that are pro western agenda and opress their people, let children go without ins, and you wont tell South Africans how to run their countries. USA can have the Tigers.

  • @JUDALATION SOOO back to my point. You are ONE of those south african villagers with aids and your titties hanging out and I want you to get shot by the LRA or any other such group. BTW how you gonna kill these lions when you claim to live in brooklyn hahahaaaaaaa fag

  • @pitbullfiend5 Sigth Im from South Africa And I happen to be there Right Now. You ever heard of a plane? Also, You are a racist piece of shit incapable of making any valid point, All you do is make ad hominem attacks. You just make racist comments like thats supposed to hurt my feelings, But all it does is make me laugh by denoting how stupid you are. Im a South African born and raised. You are a Idiot. The Lra are not in Africa, And Africa is not a Country. Everyone reading knows you are dumb!

  • @JUDALATION Race card again? Cool story bro and I know Africa isnt a country...you just going through 3rd grade? Everything else you said doesnt matter you are an online troll looking for reactions therefore you arent worth my time..I hope a lion eats you

  • @JUDALATION Oh and get a life moron...I see youre arguing with everyone...you have a job...school maybe? Anyway hope 1 of the Tigers in this video eats you and your family.

  • @pitbullfiend5 im having too much fun making you look stupid lol, Africa a country? LMAO

  • @sammy8907 Over 500 people are killed by elephants each year... Do you have wild elephants in your country roaming free? The west is trying to keep Southern Africa "wild" but this is not in the best interest of the population. The Elephants are too dangerous, attack for no reason, and eat crops needed for food. I want to protect these animals by placing them in reservations where people are safe.

  • @JUDALATION With people like you living there, it's not wonder why your country is a shit hole. Always wanting the easy solutions and never working or making anything for a permanent fix other than just to slaughter. I'm surprised you even have access to the internet, I guess someone had pity for you all and strung it up for you. Tigers are the least of your countries problems.

  • @LiquidFriction Firstly Liquid..., Im abashed by your Racist tone... You dont think south Africa has computers? You also think Africa is one big Jungle? We have sky scrapers and Oil out the ass my friend. I looked in the Internet and found a story about A man from Ohio named Terry Thomas who released over 30 tigers from his property... It JUST HAPPENED! they were ALL KILLED... I want These Animals in Captivity Just like Americans. Why are Americans not accepting Tigers? You racist are STUPID!

  • @JUDALATION Africa is the worlds most undeveloped country..just because you have a sky scraper, doesn't mean your city is living on the technological edge of the world..lol. Seriously, even small towns here in America have sky scrapers, they're commonplace around here and nothing to be bragged about. Also no, I'm pretty sure Africas more of a shithole desert than a jungle. If there is alot of jungle, your people need to move their ass to it and stop living in the desert like a bunch of idiots.

  • @LiquidFriction Please Stop...You are making Americans look bad. Firstly Africa is a Continent.. NOT A COUNTRY! Secondly, Africa is the most diverse continent, with the most beautiful scenery in the world. Our biodiversity is second to none. Also, Deserts are a small part of Africa. We Africans dont care about what stupid Americans think. You cant name 10 countries in Africa. So why dont you worry about your own country and leave the thinking to the adults. You Racist trash are irrelivant! Mkay!

  • @JUDALATION The only thing I'm racist against is ignorant people like you. America is irrelevant, yet you're the one living in a 3rd world country lol. If anything, you're the one irrelevant here. Perhaps the world will get lucky and the tigers will have their way with you. One less retard in the world.

  • @JUDALATION I love africa for their variety of beautiful wild animals. lions and tigers are related in the animal kingdom in a way because they are both big cats, why do you hate them?

  • @PCUlzzang The General consensus in many Southern countries in Africa is that wild Animals belong within reservations in order to protect the people of the countries from these animals. Just like they do in western countries. I understand the steriotype that the 53 countries in Africa are "wild jungle" but in fact, there are over one billion people who live here. Over 500 people are killed each year by elephants. They dont need to be provoked, a bull attacks in a wild rage! Want that in THE USA?

  • @JUDALATION Although conventional wisdom has it that there never have been tigers in Africa, there is evidence from fossils that the sabre-tooth species was found in many parts of the continent until about a million years ago. The reason for their disappearance is unclear, but palaeontologists say it was probably caused by dramatic climatic changes opening up the savannahs.

  • @mandehwashere Thanks for enlightening me... I have no problems with dangerous Animals in captivity... However letting them loose in the wild is a voluminous mistake. Your page denotes you Are from the United states... Perhaps you should also allow Tigers in your country as well! Oh wait... what happened when a madman let loose a few of his pet tigers and Lions... In Ohio. they were ALL SHOT IMMEDIATLY! this double standard denotes a western arrogance about Africa. We are not Jungle swingers!

  • @JUDALATION I could careless if they lived in my country. I mean if they did, they did I would be fine with that. This is not my land nor is it yours. It's everyone's including the animals. We are all mammals in the end, and we all share this land. It is not ours for one species to take over the entire world. Maybe consider where you live, and where the animals live and how they are being pushed out of their homes. Also, the man in Ohio letting his zoo go was not dealt with the way it should of.

  • @JUDALATION - They should of tranquilized the animals and had them relocated, instead of killing them all. Also if you have such a problem with dangerous animals in the wild then why the fuck are you living in Africa <_<.. Lions and tigers they're pretty much both deadly in the same way so why are you worried about it being tigers? I doubt you have such a fit over it if it were just lions.

  • @mandehwashere Look.. Tigers are indIgenous to Asia... NOT AFRICA... these tigers should be placed in Asia where they belong. I dont have problems with Animals in captivity, But placing them in the wild where farmers and cattle herders will cause Human deaths. Contrary to 'western" thinking... South Africa belongs to the People... Not the Animals. We do more to protect Animals than western countries, But this going too far! If your country kills lions when they escape, Dont tell me that I cant!

  • @JUDALATION Uhm I just told you that killing them was the wrong thing to do. I can't help what they did, and actually no. This world belongs to every living thing not just you. We SHARE THIS WORLD. As I said before. "there is evidence from fossils that the sabre-tooth species was found in many parts of the continent until about a million years ago. The reason for their disappearance is unclear" Tigers = distantly related. Therefore who are you to say? Were you alive at that time period? Nope.

  • @mandehwashere Then you should take the Tigers. The South Africans cannot take them because our hands are already full with the Lions. I dont think America would allow tigers out of captivity but if you think they would then Fine. SA does more to protect their Animals than America could ever dream of. We dont want them in the WILD! BECAUSE THATS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE! 500 death per year here. You are not one to judge us because we do more than You do to protect our cats.You are out of line my friend

  • @JUDALATION Lol.. You're so defensive, and no I'm not out of line. Just because you live there does not mean they cant live there either. But you're preaching about protecting your wildlife yet you just told me that you more less will kill a lion? How is that protecting? Hippos take more lives every year over there than the lions. Along with the mosquito's and elephants. You're not the only one on this planet that's trying to survive maybe you should get that through your thick head. You're the-

  • @mandehwashere The Lions we kill are the ones that attack cattle on OUR LAND! when Lions find a food source they continue to follow said food source so we poision the dead cattle to kill the pride. We dont hunt lions,The europeans are the ones who made Lions nearly extinct in the wild. I dont see Americans taking Tigers in and we dont want them.They are not our responcibility, But more importantly, Your country should worry about the children killed by drones, Not SA! Mind ya Buisness!

  • @JUDALATION Are you fucking dumb? We're on a PUBLIC video. On a PUBLIC thread. I'm pretty sure I have a RIGHT to freedom of speech & an opinion. Of course a lion is going to attack people when its hungry if its prey is depleted. It's trying to SURVIVE. Your cattle is technically just another prey selection for them. Which is common sense. You don't hunt lions? But yet you kill them? What difference does it make you're still KILLING THEM. You don't have to slaughter everything to fix a problem.

  • @mandehwashere If a lion goes on your property and killed you dog... would you kill it to protect your children? We dont have dart guns or lion transport like the west. You are really stupid if you think we should let it slide. You Americans kill people who walk on your property. Lions should be in reservations, They cannot ever go extinct, And we protect them with huge land reservations larger than most countries. dont talk to us about protecting animals you retard. We are far better than USA!

  • @JUDALATION I really hope you don't reproduce. You have no intellect at all. For one, If there were to be a lion on my property I would assume I was in Africa. No I would not kill it? I don't have children? For one I would scare it away, with some method. It would be my fault if my dog were to get killed by a lion, cause for one I would be living there and obviously I wasn't taking very good care of it if i were to let it wonder out of my sight in a place like that. That's the animals land.

  • @JUDALATION Also I can't help that America wont let tigers roam around. There's nothing I can do about that, the world is over populated as it is, and the animals are being pushed out of their homes, so who are you to bitch about them being forced onto your home when we have taken theirs? Sure people live there. But I'm pretty sure the animals lived there first. Also you don't know me, you don't know who I am or if I have done anything. You're the one that is an arrogant prick out of line.

  • @mandehwashere Im sorry you think conoting how South Africans should treat their wildlife, While your country exemplifies animal cruelty is not hypocritical. The buffalo, dodo bird, and even the bald eagle are near extinction, SA has reservations to protect our animals that westerners hunted near extinction. But we dont want these animals in the wild for obious reasons. You say that your countruy wont accept Tigers, But attack us for feeling the same way,no wonder your replies are marked as spam

  • @JUDALATION You're probably the one that marked them as spam, because they're obviously aren't spam. Also the Dodo bird is extinct... LOL.. It's been extinct since the mid - to late 17th century. I wasn't concerned about how South Africa treats their wildlife, I was just telling you to quit bitching about a couple of tigers being released, they're basically the same thing as lions. Just less of a threat cause they don't hunt with a pride :). I'm not attacking anyone. Get your facts straight.

  • @mandehwashere So you kill off the dodo bird, but wont take in the Tigers, even though SA already has plenty of wild cats to begin with. There was a lion pride that killed over 140 people in a few years. You fail on every level. If these tigers are in reservations that is fine, And far more than Americans would ever do. You Americans say one thing and do another. If you are so caring, tell the Americans to stop supporting dictators that opress their people and drones killing children in Africa!

  • @JUDALATION Also why are you getting off subject? I'm talking about tigers. Not drones, Secondly might I add I had nothing to do with the extinction of the Dodo bird I was not alive during that time period. Also I'm pretty sure you DO have those kinds of things to your availability. Don't try to act like you don't you have game reserves, and wildlife reserves & people to protect those reserves. They those things provided to them for their jobs. They look after the animals and go after poachers.

  • @mandehwashere This will be my last reply to you. I am all for Big cats... The more the better! as long as they are in game reserves, of which there are plenty here and more than enough space for tigers. However Nobody wants these Cats in their back yard, Either they are in reserves or not allowed in at all in order to protect people and their property. Any sane person can agree to this. Americans are immoral child killers, and their opinons dont count. Until YOU get reservations like SA, STFU!

  • @JUDALATION Says the obviously troubled, racist? You don't know all Americans so don't try to talk shit. You can go fuck yourself. Africa is not your entire back yard. You're much better off not saying a word, you merely embarrass yourself and wherever you are from. :) I doubt anyone would care if one of these predators got you anyways.

  • @mandehwashere Im not racist, And Yes SA is my entire back yard. We SA will decide what happens here, After all its our country! I also did not flag your comments as spam, thats censorship and that is wrong. Its just that your comments are so hypocritical that it borders on retardation. America is fighting wars in my continent, get the F out of my countrys affairs.If I cant tell you to stop killing innocent children in your 8 wars for oil, why can you tell me to adopt a Tiger, Child killer...

  • @JUDALATION Uh dude, you contradict yourself a billion times in a sentence. I have no part what so ever in whatever my country is doing in your country. LOL? Just because my country is doing something doesn't mean that I'm the one behind it. Seriously, chill the fuck down and actually talk some common sense for once. I haven't killed a single child. ROFL I never told you to adopt a tiger either. I just told you to quit bitching that they were in Africa, their ancestors were there before you were

  • @JUDALATION Also quit trying to act smart. I have witnessed you misspell a ton of things, and was polite and didn't say a word. You're no better than anyone else so quit acting like you are. No Africa is not your entire backyard, you share it with animals and other people. Get off your high horse and pull the dick out of your ass.

  • @JUDALATION Yup, then when there is a loose tiger from a zoo in the wild in other countries they go into panic mode and sending out the military. Then they want to populate them in areas where there are many and a normal danger.

  • The weird moment when the tigers know they are getting filmed for Tiger Porn and they are just like Fuck It let's just finish.

  • 3rd person tiger FPS

  • @Dominicandnick That makes no sense. FPS stands for first person shooter and you said 3rd person also.

  • umm, how isnt the filmmaker the tiger's dinner?

  • I wish mateing was that easy...

  • I watched this entire video...... simply amazing.

  • I wish my wife was as cool as julie..

  • Shadow: we gonna have some fun.

    Julie: yeah, but not all with you

    Shadow:girl you something else

    Julie: not any more hot shot, get out of here

    Shadow, sulks!

  • @Aupas It won't be devastating. If you actually knew anything about ecosystems, wildlife, or tigers you would know that the geographic location doesn't matter; what matters about an ecosystem is its climate. Since the climate in the area he is raising the cubs is similar to the climate zones they would live in in Southeastern Asia it isn't dangerous or bad. Plus it won't endanger people because there are less people around ranges such as these in Africa than there are in wildlife areas in Asia.

  • @thecfazz why not place tigers in every country within a climate comfy / vast plain area then ?  your mentally insufficient. Tigers need a lot of space & food, Lions will most likely kill any tiger that encounters them which is bound to happen and whipe out tigers once again. Theres already enough big cats in africa with territorial issues.

  • @Scheeno His Tiger Canyon does have sufficient food and space, whilst maintaining a suitable climate; therefore your point is a moot point--not to mention your atrocious spelling and grammar. If people have the money to place tigers in these places and repopulate the species, I say why not?

  • @thecfazz i agree as long as it doesnt disturb the native species like when we introduced all those animals in australia

  • @thecfazz This is not true... As ONE of the people in Southern Africa I find this to be one more example of Western Arrogance. Lions kill over 500 people each year. These Animals follow game, which usually stay near water sources, which PEOPLE NEED TO DRINK AND FARM! this is why such anumals only belong in reservations. Africans have herded cattle for thousands of years and these idiots are bringing Tigers to eat our cattle and our children? We dont need western idiots increasing our danger!

  • "Tigers are undoubtedly the great lovers of the world." What is this guy, a tiger pornographer? Interesting video, though.

  • Wtf is this BULLSHIT?!

    TIGERS DON'T LIVE IN AFRICA!!!

    Fucking white people, put them back in South Asia.

  • how the fuck does he follow a tiger? you couldnt pay me to do that

  • @iluvlax100 He actually raised the Tiger since birth. He's been Studying her ever since.

  • damn that guy is ruining her game! he keeps giving away her position by talking loud and standing tall. AND She still gets the kill! DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY!!

  • heck if i saw a car and i would see a truck i would mark my terriotry to haha It's like O_O oooo a car >_> *sprays* "Hey I own this-Rawr rawr rawr awwwrr"

  • Haha yeah how the hell do they follow a tiger... I wanna stalk them too even if I'm going to get killed lol yea right I'm glad they have National Geographic things.. I like to know about animals ^_^ They have similar things just like us humans and react to it to I mean if I was the tiger I would do.... >:D

  • WORLDS GREATEST WINGMAN!!!

  • "Now im gunna take my thumb, and shove it right up her ass"(south Park)

  • This is absolutely amazing, thank you John Varty.

  • They obviously drugged that impala

  • wow. that was absolutely spectacular. 

  • At 1:23, did I just hear a crack? Brrr...

  • thats so cool... lucky

  • dammmm after i masterbate ll watch this shitt

  • YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • man makes me want to have a large female tiger, would be so sweet.

  • staged, it was staged, no way can a tiger ever get an impala. hell even cheetas have a hard time catching an impala, let alone a slow tiger.

  • @TheVJProduction the impala was injurded you can tell.. plus the tigers rely on sneaking up as close as they can and catching prey off guard

  • What a privilege it is being the only man in the world allowed to hunt with the adult tiger. The fact that an adult tiger can developed such a care for a human being is uncomprehendable

  • 9:15 Sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger, "and he does it effortlessly"

  • kept watching and wondering when it was going to end.. then realized it was 44 min long hah

  • 21:10 OOOHHH YYYEEAAHH

  • thats how ninja the guy is not even the EYE OF THE TIGER can see him

  • You love tigers eh. Well I know this guy in Ohio that has like 18 of them. Pretty rare I guess Bengal or something. He would probably make you a deal on them.

    OH WAIT I FORGOT THEY WERE ALL SHOT TO DEATH BUY THE DIPSHIT PIGS THAT THAUGHT THEY WERE PROTECTING THE COMUNITY. No offense but I think losing a few inbred hicks from Ohio would have been better than the loss of 18 indangered tigers. But hey thats just me.

  • I find this video discusting. What happens when tiges loose fear of man? This man is as crazy as Timothy Tredwell and he needs to be stopped.

  • @turtle2087 shut up

  • I CANT BELIEVE HE GOT THIS VIDEO

    

  • He's a lucky MAN!!

  • He is the TIGER WHISPERER!

  • Comment removed

  • Oh Julie...

  • That was truely amazing :)... Now that's nature.

  • Tigers in Africa? Now we can see the ultimate cat fight! Tigers vs. lions!

  • Lovely video just beautiful :)

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck yeah, Africa has tigers. Fuck mother yeah, yeah yea yeah yeah, fuck yeah, alright, fuck it, yeah fuck. fuck fuck yeah, african tigers, fuck yeah, fuck fuck, allah akbar. 

  • watching this makes me feel for the 18 rare Bengal tigers that had to be shot down in Ohio

  • this is so amazing

    

  • Wow

  • no.. no. *whack with stick* lol

    seriously personal space man. hahaha

  • the fact that there is a at least 5 feet human following her when she hunts.. is it just me or does it seem stupid because obviously it will give away her spot to the prey..

  • @cupcakewhorexo Obviously not because he was following her during all the hunts and she got her prey. Just saying...

  • well done

  • wtf u can follow a tiger

  • That was amazing! Would be great to see a follow up. On a side note Julle's hunting of the warthog reminded me of my house cat. Very friendly, great with kids and strangers, but when its feeding time you better not touch his food dish. He will get PISSED OFF! ha ha.

    Although, I wonder if these cats will really be able to survive in the wilds of Africa. I don't know what other big cats are in the area, but I'd imagine Lions would be a problem since they are pack hunters.

  • @Roeshamboe05 It's possible this is just an area used to increase the population. The area teaches them how to really live in the wild, to hunt and mate and raise young, then they can be relocated to more natural habitats.

  • Awesome. Just awesome.

  • great experience to watch their births......

  • damn! i never seen footage like this!

  • first!

  • @240sxboy im proud of u

  • @dakanister23 aww thx, smart ass

  • @240sxboy i was not trying to be rude sir, i am sincerely happy that u are first
