Brazilian Ary Borges, 43, loves tigers so much he shares his house with seven stripy beasts. And refuses any claims that such close proximity to the predators (weighing over 200 kilograms each) might be dangerous.

In the nearest future, Borges wants to build a 40-acre eco-park for the giant cats, right at his home in Maringa, near San Paolo.
Eight years ago, he bought two tigers from a circus and built a sanctuary for them in his garden. Despite having no previous experience of handling animals, hoping to prevent tigers' extinction, he started a breeding program. At his property, of course. However, the authorities soon realized he had no legal permit for such activities, and Borges had to discontinue his project.
The father-of-three lets the seven beasts roam freely around his house, swim in his pool. Moreover, he even lets his toddler granddaughter ride on their back.
The patriarch says he was never worried about his daughters being around these animals. They show love and respect -- if it is mutual.
His little granddaughter Rayara, Uyara's child, is already interacting with tigers. Her mother says it is "safe," and that the little girl loves playing with them .
