The Man Who Bought Joe Exotic's Zoo | LIVING WITH TIGERS SEASON

BEASTLY’S brand new ‘Living With Tigers Season’ is here! Showcasing the craziest tiger episodes we’ve brought to you over the years, we delve into the lives of the most daring big cat owners around, including today's star, Jeff Lowe – and watch out for the ‘Tiger King’ himself, Joe Exotic. We start our journey by visiting Aryas Borges and his family in Brazil, who have been sharing their home with SEVEN tigers. Aryas’ love of tigers was inspired when he rescued two mistreated big cats at a circus and decided to bring them home. Aryas and his three daughters have now formed an incredible bond with the tigers after living under the same roof for so long. We then travel to the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma – one of the largest private zoos in the world that rescues and protects wild animals; from lions and tigers to bears and crocodiles. Multimillionaire owner, Jeff Lowe, walks most of the tigers on leashes and even takes some of the cubs for a ride in his Ferrari. In the film, we see how Jeff and his infamous pal, Joe Exotic, tackle an enclosure of 16 tigers…

Jeff Lowe gives off a bad vibe seems like a dishonorable person, he’s the least favorite person on the show and I seen why.

Jeff: I've never been seriously injured by one of these guys
Lion: I'm about to wreak this man's whole career

[joshshambaugh]

I can just see the headline now, "Jeff Lowe eaten by a tiger at his own zoo".

[alexisporras]

Notice how they were only trying to attack Jeff

[MADDØGC]

Let’s take this moment to realize none of the tigers “sized” up joe but they all went for that snake Jeff Lowe

[calebalvarez]

Dang in almost every scene Jeff is getting bit by a big cat lol. They must sense he’s not a good person

[dimecanal]

LOL jeff is such a scammer that he does not even know what he is doing and tries to seem like an expert .... SCAM ARTIST lol

[dietcokehead]

07:59 he totally escalated that. Anyone whos owned a cat knows that what that lion did was just a reflex. Move your hand. Don't shove the lion's head into the ground.

[laughingoutloud]

They don't seem very confident around big

[jamesdoakes]

12:00 Look at the reactions. Jeff goes in pussified n Joe goes in like a friend. Jeff is bumping rods n Joe's showing hands on affection. This is why they don't respect Jeff. N he blames it on the weather but they loving Joe so. N that heavy breathing...what a foolish rat.

[shenoaasp]

The tigers could tell he was scared so that’s why they took advantage

[RockyLikes]

Joe: "How's it going buddy" Grabs tiger and pets him
Jeff: 'Fending for his life'

[whatevereyewant]

It’s not even a surprise they get bit. Kevin “the lion whisperer” talks about how lions always give off some little body language to let you know they aren’t in the mood. Right before he got bit, the lion whipped his tail up. These guys may be considered professionals but their approach is sophomoric and they don’t truly respect the animals or they would be much more in tune to them.

Funny how Jeff says Joe was scare of the animals, but he would always be behind Joe when he went into cages. 👌 okay there bud.🤣

[katie.kerosene]

Thought I was see more comments about this but havent found any yet -

Am I the only shocked to hear he has SIXTEEN TIGERS all in one caged area? I could see 2-3, MAYBE 5-6. But 16?! Tigers are incredibly solitary creatures in the wild, remaining solitary their entire lives until mating season. The only companionship in tigers is when a Mother is nurturing her cubs and showing them how to hunt/survive.
I just cant help but feel this is incredibley unnatural, I would be afraid they could accidentally injure each other. Especially if theres more than one male in there???
I'm confused how hes even allowed to do that?


Edited: spelling

[charlietheb]

The tigers see Joe as Leader and see Jeff as Food. 😂

[phanpijeisena]

Jeo: *casually kissing& petting the tigers
Jeff: *showing fear

[taraek]

You can tell Jeff was extremely uncomfortable in that cage with the 16 tigers. He was super tense

[zuustayswoke]

Guy: i never got bit by a tiger or lion
lion: *Are you sure about that?*

[Yessabub]

Like lauren wasnt standing there crossing her fingers for that lion to rip jeffs head off so she can collect that inheritance lol
