Brave Alex Larenty proves he really is a game warden – as he grabs a lion by his, er, pride.

Alex said: “I was showing another warden that Jamu trusts me completely.

“People can’t believe it’s real when they see the picture. I tell them ‘yes it’s real, I’m holding a lions’ balls’.”

Hmm. Surely a cuddle would have been enough, Alex?
