I know that there are a lot of cat lovers around here and I just wanted to share this picture that I found about the bigger cousins of our feline pets.
Man takes dip with giant lioness
When Kevin Richardson decided to cool off in the sweltering South African heat he was joined by an unlikely swimming partner - a giant lioness.
But before you fear a bloody ending, don’t… because these two are good friends.
Zoologist and animal behaviourist Kevin, 34, raises and interacts with some of the most dangerous animals known to man.
You HAVE to watch the video that is inlined near the end of the article.
I always figured when I die I want it to be doing something really cool, like playing with a lion, or peacefully at home with my family. We all gotta go sometime!

I’m thinking something involving triplets and chocolate syrup, but that’s just me.
Yup. Someday soon, this guy is going to enter the “I won’t be contaminating the gene pool with my stupidity any longer” club. Chimps in Connecticut, alligators in bathtubs in New York, people who wonder why they got their nose bitten off by a half-crazed Capuchin monkey…you’d think people would remember that these are not pets, like a dog or a cat. They’re living, breathing examples of how deadly-efficient evolution is when it comes to breeding for success. If that lioness were even the tiniest bit feeling put out or hungry, it’d be a case of “cancel Christmas” for that fellow.
I love these stories. They make my day, especially after reading all the bad news and frustrated stories.
But this thread turned out to be a really Debbie Downer. I know what you mean now.
I’m not sure its necessarily stupid to take great risks to do great things. It is just a choice, he is probably very well aware he might die doing this stuff and doesn’t care.
Like that grizzly man guy. He knew it would get him killed, didn’t care. He hated everybody anyway, lol
