YouTube Channels: "Tiger Man" Michael Jamison

Tweet

I discovered, or maybe it is - I rediscovered - Youtuber Michael Jamison during Minnesota's mid-April blizzard. So with my slow cooker on, and cake in the oven and the snow coming down, I happened across "Tiger man" as I've dubbed him - on Youtube, while searching for something else. In fact I don't even remember what I was looking for originally, when the thumbnail for Michael's video which features him, holding his wrist in a tiger's mouth. Yeah, you read that right , and yes, Michael and his wrist are both fine. The tiger knew not to bite too hard, amazingly enough. So I watched that one and I was hooked. Michael lives in South Africa and as such, he has an amazing accent. His videos, of which there are hundreds, maybe thousands - detail his life in South Africa with 2 tigers, a bunch of monkies, dogs, cats and his girlfriend. Occasionally Michael will talk about his past, his life, but usually Michael will let us observe his tigers (mostly) and other animals - while talking about their behaviors and his various thoughts on life in general. Michael easily could have been a motivational speaker - his is very compassionate and all of the animals seem to be in good health, well cared for and happy. He lives in luxury - the house, from what we can see of it - is very nice, a mansion, and he has a large , well maintained paddock for his tigers, and another well maintained area for the monkeys. In spite of having a ton of cats , dogs around the house always looks very clean. And occasional we see a glimpse of Michael's sports car. Even though he does live is such nice surroundings - he never seems arrogant and seems to truly appreciate his many blessings. Apparently Michael is in import and export, though someone else said that he had been a soccer player. I don't know if that's true since I don't follow soccer. (Maybe some of the sports fans on here know?) Anyway , it's a daily dose of happiness and relaxation. I do wish that Michael's videos were a bit more linear or that he had an official website with a timeline so that new viewers like me could catch up... but, in all this is his style, so it's all good. If I understand right: Michael got the tiger called Enzo first. Then for awhile he had Ozzy, but Ozzy passed. After that Michael got Diego. Now I'm hearing about Whiskey - another tiger. Does he have 3? Maybe? (That's where I wish he would make a website, but, yknow..) Anyway! I will now share the happiness with you. I think, if I could visit anywhere, I might just choose being Michael's houseguest :-)
