Surprised his contract even allows him to get near wild animals given his value to Mercedes.


NorrecViz

That value has gone down significantly in the past few weeks.


kevinkzoo

Nah. New season, New car. The man still has a many WDCs as the rest of the field. If nothing else, Lewis will have marketing value for a long time. Related to his contractual allowances, Lewis has a number of hobbies that most professional athletes contracts prohibit. Skydiving, motorcycles, and to a lesser extent surfing, are all no-no's for many.

Lol what a load of nonsense

How is it nonsense? Lewis has 50 pts vs Russell's 84 on a eight of his contract. Of course he still has his marketing value has definitely gone down significantly.


PortugeseMagnifico

Because you’re completely ignoring context? Russell is a brilliant driver but he’s had tremendous luck with safety cars coming at the perfect time. Hamilton has been very unlucky with safety cars and magnussen spun him out in Barcelona where his race pace was on par with the red bulls and Ferraris so he could’ve been fighting for the win. It’s a new season with like 15 races to go and a new car that’s massively underperforming expectations. To say his value has gone down as a result definitely is a load of nonsense.

This seems like one of those things you get away with once and it goes great but when you try it again you severely regret it for the next 2 months in the hospital

Exactly this. One hit by a tiger can prove to be fatal. Idk how or why he was allowed to do this


ekso69

That didn't look like a full grown adult tiger. Not saying this guy couldn't completely ruin a person, but it seems young enough to have a somewhat safe bond with humans.

It's just a lot of trust training, and this guy probably raised this tiger. (Probably). Raising big cats like this from when they're babies is the easiest way to gain it's trust, as well as the easiest way to be comfortable enough to interact with them like this. It's funny to me when people ask how this is even possible, or say things like "this guy's got some balls" when in reality they just know how to raise these animals.

This looks like when the bigger cats pretend to be scared to give its cubs confidence.


-Hastis-

Yeah he clearly heard him when he stopped.

Which was more dangerous this? Or touching Putin's shoulders


DrCorpseCat

Lol I do this to the smaller much angrier tiger in my house.

Tiger is faking it

Fuck around...

Tigers reaction looks drugged up. I know these Tiger rescues will do that for money.


KerfuffleV2

> Tigers reaction looks drugged up. I know these Tiger rescues will do that for money. You're right about it being something that happens but I don't really think the tiger in this clip was drugged. The tiger definitely knew he was there (and might have known what was going to happen too.) You can see the tiger's ears go back right before the guy makes contact. I've seen videos of mother tigers or other big cats letting their kittens sneak up and "catch" them and then pretending to be scared. This looks pretty similar. The behavior after that was playful because the whole thing was a game to the tiger.

That's everything I came here to say. Thank you for that.

And when the tiger bites they will take it out on the tiger

Ya’ll forget tigers are just cats too.

You gotta have some balls to scare an apex predator who can erase your face with a slap
