Armand and Beatrice Gerber live a life few can imagine, spending each day in close contact with some of the world’s most powerful wild cats.
At the Iron Throne Predator and Wildlife Park in South Africa, the couple cares for ten lions, three tigers, two leopards, and a cheetah.
This sanctuary is a refuge for these rescued, captive-born wild cats, providing them with a secure and nurturing home.
These large, majestic animals, often considered unapproachable, enjoy affectionate interactions with their caretakers.
Armand, in particular, spends his days playing and cuddling with the big cats, developing unique connections with each one.
Despite the risks associated with working closely with top predators, Armand finds his work deeply fulfilling.
Although some may see his devotion as unconventional, Armand views it as a privilege. He considers these animals part of his family and approaches each day with gratitude for the chance to connect with them.
Working with wildcats demands full concentration and mutual respect, and though occasional scratches and bruises are inevitable, Armand remains thankful for the close bonds he shares with these remarkable creatures.
