Petite Woman Is Best Friends With Big Cats | BEAST BUDDIES

A PETITE animal owner does not let her size stop her from interacting with deadly lions that weigh more than 480lbs. In the heart of the Limpopo Province, South Africa, 35-year-old Annel Snyman spends her days cuddling and hand-feeding the most dangerous of predators – forming a close bond with lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Annel is the owner of Loebies Guesthouse and Predator Park, which houses 35 animals - 17 of which are wild predators and scavengers that Annel has hand-raised.
