Another snake
Snake Manu, like he likes to be called, is a
27-year-old man who inserts thin snakes through his nostrils and pulls
them out through his mouth. He currently holds the Guinness Book of
Records for “most worms eaten in 30 seconds” after eating 200 live
worms. He once had a snake stuck in this throat and had to choose
between being bit or biting it. He took the obvious decision of biting
it. He says that his favorite snakes are the baby cobras because they
are fast and poisonous…weird.
Jessica and her 3/4-ton hippopotamus
A game ranger found a
dying baby hippo on his lawn after a flood. He adopted the baby hippo
and named it Jessica. After a few years later, the animal gained a few
pounds and now weighs three-quarters of a ton. Contrary to what you
would think, the “pet” owner is worried about releasing Jessica into her
natural environment. He believes that she will either be attacked and
killed by other hippos, or shot by local farmers trying to protect their
animals and crops. He prefers seeing her wander around his home, drink
coffee on the veranda, and hangs out with the dogs.
The snake specialist
Speaking about snakes, Krista loves
them. She lives with a 30 reptiles, including anacondas and a 12ft
python. She was first introduced to snakes by her father Jamie, 33, who
is a snake specialist. She has been bitten a few times but since none of
the snakes are venomous, Krista says the bites didn’t hurt her!
The snake that keeps the house safe
Uorn Sambath, who lives
in the village of Setbo in Cambodia, loves to play with his 16-foot-long
python. He sleeps with the female python and even kisses it sometimes.
“People sometimes call the boy and the snake husband and wife,”
says a neighbor. The little boy’s mum believes that the snake has a
magical spirit that protects the family from sickness. Police officials
once tried to take the snake to a zoo, but they relented after seeing
the snake and the boy cuddling.
The lion man
Kevin Richardson is a South African zookeeper
who has worked extensively with animals. He’s been featured in many
documentaries feeding, sleeping or playing with very dangerous lions. He
says that he prefers lions to any other type of animal.
Bengali tigers
Mike Tyson once owned several Bengal tigers.
He used to get in their cage and play with them. Each tiger costs
$70,000 to own, and another $200,000 to feed. You can recognize one of
them in the movie Hangover.
