A Ukaranian zookeeper is getting up close and personal with his lions. Very personal.
For five weeks Alexander Pylyshenko will be confined to the same cage as Katya, a pregnant African lioness, and her male partner Samson. Pylyshenko has built himself a shower and toilet for taking care of his “human” necessities, but he will sleep on the wooden floor with the lions and eat meat that is passed to him through the bars of the cage.
Pylyshenko says he hopes to raise money for charity and draw attention to the poor treatment across the world of lions in captivity.
