Dr. Stander most definitly has a lion fetish and im not joking. This documentary was amazing but so was his boner for the lioness'

[deethecat5]

I oppose human males slipping rufies to lions and molesting them. I'm going to call PETA

[Schamah]

feets smell amazing?

WOOOW !.

The guy is a bit wacky.

I am all for animal research but this guy was slightly creepy, I mean smelling the feet?

[debswildhoney]

It's cool to see up close and learn about the animal but I wonder how it would feel to have a GPS collar for 9 months, be drugged and inspected (though obviously loved).

Fascintating! What a thrill it must be to be that close, and without fear.
