When people talk about South Africa, it's all about lions and elephants. But when we talk about India, we talk about tigers.
I went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.
I'm done with the Carole Baskin saga.
Cats are the tigers of us poor devils.
You don't see sick animals in the wild. You don't see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats.
Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
I guess Pumas are in their 30s. Cougars in their 40s... Jaguars are 50s, and Sabretooths go into the 60s, right?
I am a businessman because I am good at business. But big cats are my first love.
Tigers love pepper...they hate cinnamon.
You know, tigers are very unpredictable.
I don't know how good mountain lions do in captivity. I'm curious.
When I was 18 I worked with the Ringling Brothers circus, taking care of menagerie animals. I used to rather deliberately risk my life with the big cats.
