A DARING animal ranger has spent an ENTIRE day living with a pride of lions – hoping to form an unbreakable bond with their new-born cubs. 24-year-old, Shandor Larenty, took it upon himself to be the first human to try and interact with the three cubs on site at the Lion And Safari Park in South Africa. With the cub’s mom, Rialda, and 250kg dad, George, rarely leaving their side, Shandor was faced with the potentially deadly task of not forcing his approach and upsetting the protective parents. Shandor, who is sometimes dubbed the ‘Lion King’, has formed an incredible bond with George over the past seven years that allows him to be able to hand-feed the apex predator. But he knew the stakes were different this time around with George’s cubs involved… This is the first episode in Barcroft TV’s brand new three-part series: ‘Big Cat Life’, that airs on the Beastly YouTube channel, with a new episode being released each week.
