QuoteReplyTopic: Lion Hair Grooming Posted: September 02 2011 at 4:34am
British animal wrangler Alex Larenty risks his life daily so he can prune,
primps and polishes a massive lion.
Theses amazing pictures show
the fearless 50-year-old, from Chipping North, happily fluffing the mane of
massive maneater Jamu at the Lion Park near Johannesburg.
He also sprays the 9-year-old
beast with special lion hairspray, gives him a manicure and even massages his
feet.
And it’s all in the name of
making him attractive to the opposite sex. Former truck driver Alex said: ‘I use
a hairspray that gives Jamu’s mane a glossy sheen and hides his gingerness.
‘That makes him more appealing to a mate.’
Alex moved to South Africa in
1999 and has been an animal trainer for 35 years. Having reared many lions from
birth, Alex is able safely to walk into the middle of Jamu’s pride and play
games while surrounded by huge numbers of the massive predators.
He has said previously: ‘I
built up a relationship with Jamu through putting insect repellent onto him,
which is necessary here to keep our animals protected from things like
parasites. ‘He eventually realised he liked being scratched and tickled.’ The
208-acre Lion Park houses over 300 animals including lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
