Living alongside packs of tigers, leopards, and lions.

Carl Bovard currently lives with six tigers and two large lions in Florida, USA. He says one of the tigers weighs over 317 kg.

After an accident 13 years ago left Carl blind, he realized that what he most wanted to see were animals. So when he regained his sight, he started raising two tiger cubs.

Carl founded Single Vision, a non-profit and educational organization, nine years ago and opens his home to anyone who wants to visit. Besides tigers and lions, Carl also cares for two bear cubs, a leopard, and two alligators.

"There are many dangers that can arise when living with these animals, and you have to take precautions to ensure your own safety. Undeniably, death is the worst thing that can happen," he said.

Whenever Carl plays with tigers, he lets them roam freely, just as they thrive in the wild. He recounts being bitten on the nose by a leopard and having to have stitches. He's also been attacked on the shoulder by them.

A heartwarming moment between Carl and the 317 kg tiger.

Although many argue that animals should not be confined but released back into the wild, Carl remains convinced that he is helping and protecting them.

The animals seem to enjoy being petted by Carl. Every week, Carl has to buy 680 kg of meat to feed his herd. Despite facing many challenges living with them, he always loves this job and hopes to expand Single Vision.
