A man has been pictured fearlessly moving around and bonding with fear-inducing lions without feeling fear himself.
Kevin Richardson and his lions
The man, Kevin Richardson, who has been named a 'Lion Whisperer' for his amazing rapport with lions is probably one of the world's most fearless men alive.
He lives, eats and plays with lions in his wildlife sanctuary in Pretoria, South Africa, one of the few people in the world that have the privilege.
The pictures show one of the majestic animals climbs onto the bonnet of a Mercedes SUV and two others wrestle with Mr Richardson in his wildlife sanctuary in Pretoria, South Africa, in the playful series of photographs.
But the pictures, shot by photographer Adrian Steirn, have a serious message - they are being used to raise awareness of the plight of the animals in Africa.
The aim of Steirn and Richardson was a single picture that would capture a conservation message: 'What legacy will we leave for our future generations?'
