Anyone Up For a Bus Ride?

I'm all for interacting with smaller, less dangerous animals, but regardless of how docile and affectionate these lions are in the video, being an apex predator, they can turn at any time, reverting back to their wild ways.

For that reason alone I wouldn't be game for this type of activity, but definitely an experience of a lifetime.

When I first saw that video, I was thinking of one of the most friendly Tigers on the planet - Manticore. Roy Horn's Tiger.
Definitely tempting, but risky.
Speaking of interacting with dangerous animals - this guy's King Cobra seems to thank his rescuer by not killing him:

OMG, nerves of steel.

I don't like snakes but the cobra truly is a beautiful specimen.
 
I once was able to pet a lioness. She was kind of old. I think the Trainer said she was 22 y/o. She also had physical issues, but was very gentle because she was raised in a zoo and pampered all of her life.

The story behind the rescue. The Cobra was caught under a steel fence & some dogs were chewing on his tail. The owner treated the wounds on his back & they healed, but you can see the damage:

One would think that through the process of shedding, the cobra would have been able to shed the damaged scales.
