They say dogs are a man's best friend, but for Shandor Larenty, it's an enormous male lion called George. The 25-year-old, originally from Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, now lives in South Africa where he works on a wildlife reserve in Gauteng caring for its animals. He's built up a particular rapport with adult male lion George, whom he calls his 'best friend'. A pair of adorable cheetahs regularly feature on his TikTok videos and Instagram account. Shandor moved to South Africa with his wildlife expert father Alex in 1999 and has certainly inherited his skills.
