Typically, the idea of children and wild animals interacting with each other is strictly observed from the safety of a trip to the zoo or aquarium. It's the perfect opportunity for your little ones to learn more about the world while enjoying some entertainment, too! However, lucky kids like the one in the video below are able to get a closer look at all the critters — under their mom or dad's supervision, of course. One of the amazing perks of having a parent who work with those exotic animals! We definitely do not recommend anyone who is not properly trained to ever bring one of these unpredictable creatures into their home.
But when it comes to 8-month-old baby Bella, she and her sisters get to grow up with the animals her dad, biologist Airton Katsuyama, rescues in his career. Here, Bella is seen enjoying a bottle with her big cat buddy, an orphaned jaguar named Juma. It reminds me of the sweet little girl who doesn't mind sharing her snacks with her lemur friend, but a tad more terrifying. I'm sure her dad trusts the 1-month-old jaguar with his bundle of joy, but it's still a bit jarring to see on film. In fact, I thought the fuzzy friend was a stuffed animal at first, but she's the real deal!
It's basically like a real life version of all your favorite Disney movies rolled into one adventurous family!
