Animal Behaviorist "PLAYS" with Wild Lions

What seems like stock new footage may be a hoax! Is this man real? Is what he is doing real? And if so, who's to say that what he is doing is good for these animals? Arguments vary! What doesn't go unnoticed is how beautiful these interactions are to behold. Thank you, YouTube!!

Something seems dubious about these scenes in this YouTube video I just happened to "StumbleUpon," as if they were contrived and happened actually to take place in some Western Safari Amusement Park (à la Busch Gardens Tampa Bay). However, much of me wants to invest a good deal of admiring trust into what is portrayed here as legitimate news footage. If this man is real -- if what he is doing is real -- then I commend him not only for his bravery, but for his innate gifts as an animal behaviorist! Ouais! T'as raison! C'est étonnant, ce qu'il fait. BRAVO!!

 "...Étonnant," reads the original title of this video on YouTube; hence, my remarks "en français!" 

That said, I'd like to lean to the side of the fence that believes that this footage and these mesmerizing acts of human-animal interaction are turly genuine. It'd be like the "Crocodile Hunter" returned; only this time, with the soul & stature of a WILD LION!! What a beautiful thought...

IF ONE ADVANCES CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION
OF HIS DREAMS, AND ENDEAVORS TO LIVE THE LIFE
HE HAS IMAGINED, HE WILL MEET WITH A SUCCESS
UNEXPECTED IN COMMON HOURS.

— Henry David Thoreau

FOR THE EXISTING WORLD IS NOT A DREAM, AND
CANNOT WITH IMPUNITY BE TREATED AS A DREAM;
NEITHER IS IT A DISEASE; BUT IT IS THE GROUND ON
WHICH YOU STAND, IT IS THE MOTHER OF WHOM
YOU WERE BORN.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
