Or Lazami is 25, and is originally from Israel, and now manages the park, 18 miles from Port Elizabeth, said: ‘It’s not your everyday job, but these tigers are my babies.
‘I love getting this close to the animals – even though I am a lot smaller than them.’People are ѕсагed of tigers because they are so powerful, but we train them to understand ‘no’.’I never let them use their claws or teeth on me. I have only been scratched when they were tiny and knew no better.’
The tiger lover has raised two-year-old Shosho and his sister Faye since park staff took them from their mother at nine days old.
Or, who is also pictured with three-month-old cubs Judah and Ruby said: ‘I live on site and spend four hours a day, seven days a week with the tigers.
‘I have to replace their mother in every way when they are young; bottle feeding, walking, and even potty training.
‘They are more similar to human babies than lion cubs, as they cry all the time – we even have to rock them under the arms to calm them dowп.’Shosho is my big boy and always loved cuddles, but Faye was a feisty cub – I think I’ve got her under control now.’
