I think its unreal. I would do it knowing I raised most of those from babies. Thats his secret. I did some research. I think whta he is doing is unreal and amazing. People dream to get that close.

I've seen him on a few NatGeo shows. Almost every animal is raised from a newborn...as in he takes them from mom almost the moment they're born. He keeps them till they're healthy and old enough and reunites with pack/pride.
He's done some amazing work, especially with Hyena conservation. I totally respect the guy, as much as I do Dave Salmoni. He's doing what he loves, what most of us wish we could do and he's making a difference.
If I had the opprotunity, I'd be right there with him.

I would love to be able to do what he is doing with those cats.
The lions' paws are as big as his head!

While not a large difference, as the Lions and Hyenas are still dangerous, Keith Richardsons animals are raised by him. Most, from the day their born.
Timothy Treadwell "The Grizzly Man" was studying wild animals, that had no or little human contact. His situation was much different and IMHO, he was completely stupid.
If I had the opprotunity to move to South Africa and go work with Keith Richardson, I'd be on the first flight out.

Grizzly Man was eaten as was his girlfriend. That guy was a complete moron. He got her killed. but she was a grown woman who made her own mind up.

sooooo true. When I first saw this guy I thought he was a total crack head. I knew this guy was for real when I saw the pics of him with the cat in the water. Those animals don't usually go near the water like that. He had them comfortable and not threatened. He was on the Today show one morning in the middle of a pride. He just sat there talking to the cameras with the lion and lioneses RIGHT there in the middle of ALL of them
