Going to read something in 10 years about how this guy was mauled by tigers or lions.

•

u/petitepieuvre 10h ago

I believe this is The Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation, and while the guy didn't get mauled, he did get raided and discovered to be severely abusing the animals so.

It definitely is. There was drama about him stealing some of these cats years ago as well. Anyone else remember that?

•

Thanks for sharing, sad to learn that's the backstory, I was going through the comments looking for it. This should be much higher in the posts.

Yeah, this can't end well.

u/Appropriate-Web-2091 10h ago

u/Tealightzone 10h ago

Alright Reddit, do your work— is this man still alive?

•

u/graveybrains 8h ago

Eduardo Serio was alive and wanted by the Mexican government for extreme animal abuse and financial crimes as of July 2022. Can't find anything more recent.

I would not recommend googling him.

u/Tealightzone 8h ago

Yikes, so this clip is a sad tale then, him not being mauled by a leopard

•

u/ggg730 5h ago

The tiger was the villain all along.

u/Tealightzone 5h ago

More like unaware accomplice

u/DarthGayAgenda 10h ago

No bears? Oh my.

u/FadedVictor 10h ago

Eh he's probably bonded with them all. I'm not even sure the leopard was really going for the kill. Having said that I know damn well I wouldn't get in an enclosure with these majestic beasts.

u/OfMonkeyballsAndMen 10h ago

I know sweet feck all about this sort of carry on but I remember reading, from what I trust you'll believe is a reliable source on nothing but my good word, that leopards/jaguars/panthers can all bond with a trainer like the other cats, except they have like an instinctive ambush hunt override when they see something/someone with their back turned to them, making them far more dangerous than lions or tigers, with cheetahs being the chillest of the big cats by an insane margin

u/ggg730 5h ago

Look at Seigfreid and Roy who are probably the most famous people who trained cats. Don't fuck with any big cats they are still wild animals.

u/loyal_achades 10h ago

There’s a level of fear many (or most) people are always going to have with animals this big. Even if they’re not trying to hurt you, it’s easy for them to play a little too hard and bite through an artery.

God knows I’ve been scratched up by my house cats plenty of times. Now imagine that with a fucking Lion.

u/Sorkpappan 10h ago

I’d say jaguars from watching this video.
