James Jablon must really love lions a lot. Since January 1st, he has been living with two lions in their den in an attempt to raise money and awareness for Wildlife Rehab of Hernando Florida.
When I say that James Jablon is living with lions, I literally mean that he is sleeping in a bale of hay in their den. You can follow along with James Jablon's month-long lion sleepover by checking out the live-streaming video above. Hopefully, these lions are fed regularly enough to keep Jablon from being their next meal.
