hey I remember you. Sorry if any of this info has been said, I just read the first page and remembered the kid from waterwolves
I work at a safaris here. They have 27 big cats, all rescued, ranging from cougars, black leopards, tigers, lions and a liger named rocky who is 1,100 lbs. When we feed them they normally eat cut up 10 pound logs. That is a frozen block of meat. It contains everything there diet needs. Well most of the cats get around 5 lbs of meat a day. Okay well I have an alligator, I remember you wanting one. Alligators have an immense jaw pressure. Stronger then crocodiles because an alligators favored prey are turtles. They need the jaw pressure to crack their shells. Well you don't want to get on the wrong side of an alligator but their tails can snap your legs. A large alligator can weigh more then 500lbs. It takes A LOT of determination and "want" to care for these animals. I am getting a bobcat soon but you need a wildlife breeders permit since it is a native species. He isn't nearly as bad as a tiger but bobcats have been known to hunt down and kill deer. But a large cat (lion especially) have the strength in their forearm to knock over a 600 lb zebra. Big cats don't realize how strong they are. When they grow up with you they don't know they got bigger. So when they play the play rough. Kabuka our barbary lion is the nicest cat we have. He loves to roll on his back and get his belly rubbed. Well cats, alligators, and other things have days where they don't want to be messed with. What happens then? Like I said all of our cats are rescued from people who think they can keep them. Shami a golden-tabby tiger came from mike tysons trainor. But I noticed you like reptiles. Well I have a yellow anaconda. If you want those a nice one is almost unheard of my baby has tagged me several times. well better get her tame now and not have an aggresive adult anaconda. A large yellow or green anaconda can weigh 700 lbs. I also just recently got an asian water monitor well they are the longest of all lizards, longer then a komodo dragon but not larger. They can get well over 100lbs. and their claws can get 2inches maybe more. They can rip you up unintentionally (spelling?) but their teeth are like sharks teeth. triangular and serrated. But anyways I just don't want to see a headline where a spoiled rotten kid or whatever is eaten, mauled, attacked, etc. by a "pet" anything.
oh and by the way only the female bull sharks go upriver and that is to give birth to their babys. I believe that they (males) can go into freshwater just not real frequently. oops forgot about the zambezi and the uhhh geez I can't spell it but nicauragua. I think thats how you spell it
this is my .2 cents
