Isn't that the greatest story? I saw it on youtube a while back. Just incredible that he still knew them and it was obvious that was it and not a fluke.

I saw that a few months ago also. I admit to big alligator tears.

My next purchase will be an exotic animal. Perhaps, a hyena? That would raise a few eyebrows at The Bridge Lounge.

Is a zebra a white horse with black stripes or a black horse with white stripes?

Its a nice story, but I'm calling Shennanigans. That looks like an extremely young lion to have its own pride. That, and I don't think male lions are biologically hardwired to have social relationships with their parents once they start to breed. There'd be a lot of incest, otherwise.

A timber wolf would be a much better choice for you. When you come home every night, you get to wrestle the clawing, snarling beast to the ground and pin it to show you are still the master. If you fail once, the wolf will rip out your kidneys and claim the alpha dog trophy.
A hyena would just sit around and giggle.
