Dare to Cuddle: Meet the Man Who Forms Bonds with Lions and Tigers. nobita
Armand Gerber isn’t your typical wildlife enthusiast. While many admire large felines like lions and tigers from a safe distance, Armand spends his days near these majestic yet dangerous creatures.
Alongside his wife, Beatrice, Armand operates the Iron Throne Predator and Wildlife Park, a sprawling 200-acre sanctuary in South Africa.
They provide a forever home for various big cats, including lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, and other rescued Animals.
Despite the inherent risks, Armand embraces daily interactions with these formidable predators. “All the Animals here are captive-born,” he explains, “and while we raised some, many are rescues from facilities with dubious practices. We aim to offer them a haven, a place to thrive.”
What sets Armand’s approach apart is his deep bond with the Animals. Contrary to their fierce reputation, these feline residents share a surprising fondness for cuddles and playtime with their human companions. “Once a cat, always a cat,” Armand quips, highlighting his enduring affection with his wild friends.
Acknowledging the dangers inherent in his work, Armand emphasizes the importance of respect and understanding when interacting with these predators.
“Some may call me crazy or reckless,” he admits, “but I do this out of love and trust. These Animals are my family, and I’m grateful for the privilege to care for them.”
Through his dedication and passion, Armand challenges perceptions and fosters a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of these magnificent creatures.
