Aww, look at that big guy. He’s got such cute puppy dog eyes and a slight little smile. Don’t ya just want to hug him? Aside from the fact that he’s a dangerous wild animal, that’s probably not a good idea because of what is listed under the “special features” section of his bio at the Yokohama Zoo.

Yikes! Better stay away from this one. Those white tigers in Las Vegas seemed tame enough, but eventually bit the hand that fed them. We’d hate to imagine how quick it would take a human-loving lion to devour his captors!
