Can you imagine a fight between a dog and a lion? It’s an unfair battle! But make that a beautiful puppy and a lion cub and you have a playground. It doesn’t matter what’s going to happen in years when the lion is going to be 10 times heavier than the dog, it’s the fun they have today. It doesn’t matter who win/won, but do check out those claws … Check out more images after the jump. (more…)

For all those that thought cats can’t swim we have news for you. They can if they are being taught, and that’s exactly what Dr Bhagavan Antle did for the last 25 years.

Born in Arizona on a vast cattle ranch and with a passion for wild and exotic animals, Dr Bhagavan Antle is now the director of T.I.G.E.R.S and is considered one of the foremost animal trainers in the country with more than 350 bit cats trained for movies, TV commercials, and live performances. Would we have fun if tigers would play with us? Probably not!

I salute his lions swimming lessons but I think animals should be left alone in their natural habitat and not used to entertain humans.
