@adehdageh commented:
"And humans call these creatures wild??? When we see things stronger than us we just label them as dangerous. All because we can't kill them to eat and do all sorts like other animals, so sad."
@Urchyzz said:
"So beautiful. You're just living my life."
@kuchiebouy wrote:
"These predators are not fed like humans. They are not fed daily, they can survive for even a week without eating."
@NerddStark said:
"Bro these animals pose for photos better than most humans."
@ashlondon_ commented:
"The thing is, these tigers are domesticated, unlike those in the wild. All they can do is hurt him whenever they have a mood-swing which is normal for every animal (including humans)... but they can't chew him up even if they are hungry."
In a separate story, Briefly News reported that a graduate with the handle @JESSEDREVIVAL, who studied mechanical engineering in school, has taken to Twitter to showcase the work he is doing for survival.
It is no news that many people struggle to get a befitting job nowadays as more people are becoming 'accidental entrepreneurs'.
In a tweet on Thursday, May 13, the man shared a photo of himself at work and a snap showing when he got his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate.
