Man and Lion Become the Best of Friends after 11 Years of Friendship

Even though we consider lions and other wild animals as dangerous, this story shows that it isn’t always the case. Meet 69-year-old Frikkie Von Solms, a lion caretaker who lives in Southern Africa and a man who probably knows more about lions and their behaviour than anyone else in the world because for the past 11 years he has raised Zion, a warmhearted and gentle African lion.

Zion was born in captivity but was quickly separated from his mother and father after fears that his father would kill him.
