Meet the Couple who share their Home with a 400-pound Tiger

Or we could have called this post ‘Meet the couple who will one day die violently in their sleep’.

Michael Jamison and his girlfriend Jackie Smit have invited a 400-pound Bengal tiger to come live with them in their home in Brakpan, South Africa…who in turn shares the house with 14 other dogs.

They bought Enzo as a cute nine-week-old cub but a year later he has grown into a hulk after wolfing down 11lb of meat a day.

‘Playing with a tiger can be really dangerous,’ he said. ‘If he gets you at the wrong place, even if he doesn’t bite down, he can just scratch you with his teeth, you will bleed.

That’s one thing I’ve made peace with: every time I play with him I’m prepared to bleed a little bit.’

Then it’s time for dinner… Enzo loves cat food, according to Mr Jamison but insists on gobbling it atop the kitchen table, which he really is too big for… Like a ticking time bomb.
