Warden grabs lion's privates to show they are friends

PICS HERE

Brave Alex Larenty proves he really is a game warden as he grabs a lion by his, er, pride.

British-born Alex, 50, took a firm grip on Jamu at a reserve near Johannesburg to show another keeper just how much the huge beast likes him.

Alex said: I was showing another warden that Jamu trusts me completely.

“People can’t believe it’s real when they see the picture. I tell them ‘yes it’s real, I’m holding a lions’ b****’.”

Hmm. Surely a cuddle would have been enough, Alex?

The Lion may grab his one day, I wonder if they will still say friends then

I would never grab a lion's privates, even if I considered the lion to be my "friend". You never know what a wild animal will do.

A lion will never be your friend. It's a wild animal.

Since when does grabbing something's bazagas signify friendship? Is this something the kids are doing now? I'm so out of touch. I'm still not quite sure what "sexting" is.

I saw on TV a french couple who keep panthers as pets

ZombieKitten said:

The couple may think they're pets, but I bet the Panthers didn't get the memo.

Serious said:

Not true. Haven't you ever seen that footage from the 70's of the 2 men who raised a lion then put it back in the wild and were reunited a couple of years later? The lion ran straight up and just kept hugging the hell out of them. It was very touching actually.

I am pretty sure the lion in the video ate them later.

exactly! they think they can sit in the enclosure with them and drink wine. While the interviewer interviewed them from OUTSIDE (smart guy), one of the panthers knocked over the table and wine bottle and glasses smashed everywhere

2 things:
how in the hell can you buy a lion cub at Harrods!!! I know this must have been in the 70s and everything, but still!!

AND

the lion's wife wasn't very wild obviously

I heard from someone who volunteered at the animal shelter that that was a way to comfort an agitated animal was to grab it's nuts.


So like us...

ZombieKitten said:

yeah (and I wondered about the random third guy who joined these "wild" animals) but it was sweet anyway!

NDRU said:

he was wild too

It was really cute to see him acting like a regular little cat, rubbing his face against them! I bet they nearly shit themselves when he started running towards them!!!

But you can never be sure how it will react.

Serious said:

they were lucky it remembered them, they sure took a huge risk

roflmoa @ the responses on this thread.

lawd what the hell is that gonna be the new typical friendly greeting now?

Friend 1#: Hey, good to see ya!
[grabs Friend #2's nuts]
Friend 2#: ha ha ha you silly goose!
[grabs Friend #1's nuts]

My wife grabs my privates all the time, does that mean we're just friends?

Actually in ancient rome when two men made an agreement or pact it was a common practice to seal the deal by cupping the others scrotum. It was sort a if you don't do your part it was a curse on his future offspring.

Shawnt25 said:

They use the word "brave" cracks me the fuck up - how about the word DISRESPECTFUL

yeah - that's better

lazycrockett said:

yeah well humans do that kinda weird stuff to each other. When is the last time a lion reached out and shook a mans nuts to show "friendship"

so stupid
