Playing with the Wildcat

Not very many people are comfortable being around wild animals, let alone animals as aggressive as wildcats. In Dubai, playing with or riding these animals is normal. The Dubai resident captured in the pic is having a little playtime with the lion. His furry pet lion decided to interrupt his siesta on the hood of his vehicle. He seems comfortable having the huge animal stand over and smell him, probably a way of showing its love. Should things unfortunately go south, and the animal go wild, he will definitely need a lot of stitches for the scratches and bites he might suffer from the animal. The lion however looks calm and he is definitely safe.
