Out of Africa. This ranger rocks


Actually we just loved thses photos sent in …check it out.

But Auckland Zoo is open everyday from 9.30am to 5.30pm (except Christmas Day), with last admissions into the Zoo at 4.15pm.

This Ranger is assigned to prevent poaching around the wildlife refuge area of Lanseria , South Africa . The way these animals interact with him is absolutely stunning! The lions seem to know he’s there to protect them. His charm works with hyenas and lions too. Hyenas are usually vicious. Check out the pics taken in the river – amazing because lions hate water.Lion2Hyena3

    Who actually took these photographs? I’ve looked everywhere and
    seen the photos at least 20 times, but it never mentions the
    photographer. Is it Peter Blackwell?

    WHO!! is the Ranger??? What is his name other than “Lucky”. These pics are awe inspiring and to say the least wonderful to look at. Would have loved to have been there while they were being shot (the pics I mean).
