He kept his guard down, also kept his claws sheathed and took precautionary measures not to hurt others, What a great guy Dean is, humans are amazing.

Not even my cat is this intelligent, slices me up left and right.

it's crazy how conscious that lion is about how careful he needs to be with his human buddy.

Retracted his claws instantly before contact.

how did Dean teach his lions to be so gentle and careful with him?

Its crazy that the lion understands how weak we are as well as understand that they are playing. Look at the lions movements, its so fluent and so easily gets a grip on him and could so easily kill him but chooses not to.

The level of trust and understanding between Dean and these lions is mind boggling and humbling to witness.

Cara Deus te presentiou com esse talento você é um escolhido de Deus , sonho de milhões realização de poucos.

This would be a very different story if he used his teeth and claws. Amazing to have this much restraint. Awesome animals

He took care to keep his claws sheathed so as not to hurt you. I can see he was being very careful. He's a sweet, caring guy.

Qué noble animal!!!, ni un solo rasguño a su amigo, se nota el cariño que le tiene.

じゃれついているのに、ライオンは人間を傷付けないように爪を肉球に隠していて、(爪を隠しているからずり落ちてしまって転んでしまうが)優しい子(ライオン)ですね。

And his camera guy is fearless as well. Don’t forget to notice that ALL of these creatures respect HIM, and allow him to be part of their circle.

That's a whole nother level of trust!!! Looks like they are having fun, though!

I'm pumped to see everyone pointing out the gentleness but it's even more than that.

Damn! The lion was in full control of himself the whole time. He

How he drew his claws back in is amazing and speaks volumes on their amazing bond he really is living the perfect life

It was Dexter when he was young. Kudos to Dean and his team for their time and dedication raising those lion's.

Lion : i just want to hug you dean ☺️

You can tell they love him and know that they can't be as rough with him.:-)
