10. KEVIN RICHARDSON
Kevin Richardson also known as the Lion whisperer is passionate about wildlife. He runs a wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa that is out of this world. One of the most intriguing aspects of Richardson’s sanctuary is his personal relationship with his lions. He is known to interact with them within the confines of the sanctuary during his long enrichment walks at his game reserve, wow! However at his game reserve he doesn’t allow his guests to go on these walks with him, he knows that his ‘friends’ that’s the lions will behave for him and not you, stick to your lane my brother!
The lions are not his only friends; Kevin also has a unique friendship with the Hyenas! I know some of you may find this strange but over the years Kelvin has become so close to the hyenas that they give him hugs, he also tickles them! Amazing, isn’t it! He isn’t afraid of them, would you hug a hyena if you had the chance to? Comment on the section below.
9. JANE GOODALL
Jane is an English primatologist and anthropologist considered to be the world foremost expert of Chimpanzees, thanks to her 60 year study of social study and family interactions after going to the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania so much about Chimpanzees is known.
Her love for the animal that frightens many has seen her even name some of the chimpanzees, Jane believes that every Chimpanzee that she has interacted with has different character traits just like us human beings, maybe understanding different personalities is the trick to a solid friendship, do you agree? Jane also lets the chimpanzees play with her hair, how cool is that!
Although Goodall has done animal research on Chimpanzee, she stated that dogs are her favorite animals, hope that the chimpanzees don’t feel betrayed!
8.SHIRLEY AND TONY
This couple lives by a riverside and a few years ago they fell in love with a Hippo and named her Jessica. I know you’re wondering how this even happens. Hippos are known to shred humans into pieces so how would anyone want to get close to these sea beasts?
Anyway the story behind this crazy couple will shock you even more! The Hippo who had been separated from their mother soon became part of their family. Jessica normally comes to the shores of the river where Tony feeds her, Tony taught himself how to make formulas for the Hippo or rather Jessica. They feed the big hippo from a feeding bottle like a baby.
According to the couple Jessica is free to leave whenever she pleases, as she isn’t held captive, however, Jessica has chosen to stay.
7. TIMOTHY TREADWELL AND THE GRIZZLY BEARS
Timothy Treadwell was a brave man who lived among grizzly bears of Katmai Nation Park in Alaska for 13 summers; he got so cozy with the bears that he convinced his girlfriend to join him on some occasions.
Timothy Treadwell loved the bears so much and didn’t want anyone to hurt a bear, even when experts told him to carry bear spray as a defence mechanism he declined, it is believed he only used it once and felt so guilty for hurting a bear, if that isn’t true love I don’t know what is. Treadwell hated modern civilization and felt better in nature with the bears than he did in big cities and humans; he also filmed over 100 hours of footage with the bears while spending time with them.
All was going well between him and the bears until one day in 2013 when he extended his trip in the wild and got attacked by a 28 year old bear; his girlfriend’s life also ended in the tragic incident. So sad. Moments before his life ended, he had recorded footage like he normally did and said that he wasn’t comfortable around the bear that is suspected to have eaten him.
The critically acclaimed documentary ‘ by Werner Herzdog’s the German Filmmaker in 2015 was inspired by Timothy’s story, even some of the footage in the film was original footage from Timothy’s collection that was retrieved after he passed on.
