The Lion King: Beautiful Friendship Between a Young Zoo Keeper And His Big Cats

lion wrangler, Shandor Larenty, is a dedicated 24-year-old working night shifts at The Lion Park near Johannesburg, South Africa. While his friends are out partying and enjoying their teens, he is busy with his lions and hyenas up to the point he has no time for romantic relationships. As part of his "Dream job", as he call it, he mucks out hyenas, watches over sick lions or doing special night feeds with injured giraffes. While the work is quite demanding, he gets his daily affection from his big furry friends at the park.
