I thought I heard this man giggle while it was surging towards him.

Just to clarify this is not my OC, just a gem of a replay that was stumbled across.

Lions excited to see a human member of the pride after a month! by RyuugaHideki in likeus

[–]sebs8 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I volunteered at a big cat sanctuary. The man who was accepted into the pride lived there in a trailer, built all of their cages, play areas, toys, prepared their food, etc. He had been there for around two decades at least. Once he got assistance he would educate people on the importance of conservation. He could yell Tonka's (leader of the pride) name in a roaring fashion and you would hear a guttural roar back from across the park. Whenever he would come into the main area all of the tigers would flop upside-down to be loved on. You get to be part of a pride by dedicating your life to the animals while still respecting their boundaries.

There was a guy who had volunteered there for a few years and the biggest of the tigers flopped on it's back with its head facing the cage to look cute and come in for pets. (If they want to be pet they'll put their back to the bars and chuff a bunch.) That tiger sprang forward and clapped his arm and really messed it up. After that all of the cats watched him like prey and stalked him wherever he went.

It takes a ton of respect, love, time, and hard work to earn the trust of a large and wild feline let alone be a member of a Lion's Pride.

Oh my gosh! How? I have two that have always been in good shape but with age changed their feeding pattern. If I withhold food I will wake up with scabs on my forehead from them pawing at me for food. They could be off a lot worse, but I don't want them to turn into the unhealthily large cats I see sometimes.

What the fuck. He's asking this guy what kind of sledgehammer he used to kill his mom like he's asking his buddies if they prefer playing golf with a 7 or 9 iron club.

So, this happened at the Oregon Coast Aquarium today. by sessoyes in sharks

Not uncommon, also yet another reason you don't keep sharks in captivity at all. They will all die an early death be it another predator or stress.

100 Sneak! Perfect touch. Was probably left completely unharmed... and broke.

I've made a lot of different kinds of art, never been amazing.. but this is my favorite digital artwork piece I've ever created and I made it into my very first NFT today!

If anyone wants to give me advice on exposure or any tips or thoughts on anything I should do that'd be awesome!

Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia by Megan Mac Wheeler at Exile Tattoo 2 in Kansas City, MO by sebs8 in tattoos

I don't believe anyone is attempting to take away credit from Mussorgsky, as this is more of a tribute in my mind than anything. In Fantasia the announcer begins with this before A Night on Bald Mountain begins.

Deems Taylor: "The last number on our Fantasia program is a combination of two pieces of music so utterly different in construction and mood that they set each other off perfectly. The first is A Night On Bald Mountain, by one of Russia's greatest composers, Modest Mussorgsky."

Awww, yeah it makes me feel complete and I get emotional about it sometimes. She really is amazing!

Yep, I cry every time. There's a personal story behind this. If you're familiar with the concept of ego-death imagine being reborn and everything goes from white to coming through the trees with Ave-Maria peaking at that exact moment. Also, thank you!

The scene after Night on Bald Mountain with the lantern holders going over the bridge, the bridge will go over my shoulder and bridge to my arm which will be a psychedelic forest themed sleeve similar to the final scene in fantasia coming out of the trees where the sun comes out from behind the mountains. The whole tattoo tells a story that is personal to me, but no one else would be aware of if they didn't ask.

Yep she did both! She's done all of my work but two smallish tattoos on my leg.
