He’s got some serious core strength to be able to not instantly collapse from the muscle weight of a lion.

I wish my house cat could show me half of this affection

[anweshapramanik]

Idk why but I had tears rolling down my cheek. I found it that precious!

What a terrific story… That lion could rip him apart and one minute, but she loves him. It’s so great.

They love for a lifetime and that too unconditionally . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
