I suppose he is after reading this article. There are also other youtube clips of him jumping off the worlds largest bungee jump in a tuxcedo. He has had a hard time of it and you can see why he is perhaps doing these crazy things.

Is he doing it to raise money for the charity? Is he Nigel Stramer Smith?

Not really wild though was it? The opposite of wild really, being in an enclosure and that.

Cant say I feel any sympathy for that idiot, lucky to get out with the few bites he got. I really don't see the fascination these guys have with getting stupidly close to wild animals. Like that tool Irwin for example, it was inevitable. That clown of a journalist is more of a danger to himself than the Lion is to anyone else.
