[00:00:00] 11 years old, and the oldest is 35. You have your
[00:00:03] project about animals, it's unique, it's unparalleled,
[00:00:07] you're a star in Brazil, people recognize you on the streets, they ask
[00:00:10] for autographs. Yes, they recognize me. When I walk
[00:00:13] on the street, everyone says, "Oh, he's the one who trains
[00:00:17] animals." They ask to take pictures with me. I know
[00:00:20] from my own experience, many dream of
[00:00:23] connecting their lives with some famous person, just because
[00:00:26] they regularly appear on TV. Don't you... don't you
[00:00:30] encounter this? Even the parrot
[00:00:32] confirmed it. You know, indeed, I have met
[00:00:36] people who associated with me because of my popularity. So
[00:00:40] I am very careful when getting to know women. It's not
[00:00:43] important to me how beautiful she is, because I need a person who
[00:00:47] will be with me not because I am popular, but who will share
[00:00:51] my love for animals with me.
[00:00:54] Dear friends, this is what I want to say right now: in one frame,
[00:00:57] there are two desirable bachelors. "Desirable," I put the word in
[00:01:01] quotes. Why? Because, firstly, journalists probably call you
[00:01:04] that sometimes, and I was certainly called that.
[00:01:07] And - Don't yell, let me
[00:01:10] finish. Very often people look at the facade,
[00:01:14] everyone thinks that indeed, our lives are a
[00:01:17] dream.
[00:01:20] But Gilberto has a girl living with him, whom he wanted to introduce
[00:01:23] me to.
[00:01:26] I'll show you a special girl now. Here...
[00:02:01] Here, friends, a little python, oh, oh. How many
[00:02:05] snakes do you have? Let's go see
[00:02:07] more.
[00:02:10] This is a corn snake. These are all non-venomous
[00:02:13] snakes, yes, non- venomous. Where did you go? Come back home,
[00:02:17] come back home.
[00:02:20] Oops.
[00:02:22] You know, I have a long
[00:02:25] friendship with snakes. A snake bit me. Really?
[00:02:28] I lost 5 kg overnight.
[00:02:32] Wow.
[00:02:33] And,
[00:02:36] yes, a snake bit me, a snake bit me, show.
[00:02:38] I was throwing up all night, excuse me, turning
[00:02:45] inside out. In fact, after that, strangely enough,
[00:02:48] I stopped being afraid of snakes. They won't bite just like that. A snake
[00:02:52] will only bite if you provoke it. If you don't do that, it
[00:02:55] won't bite. Oh,
[00:05:00] wow, fantastic again. I've
[00:05:04] stepped into a fairy tale.
[00:05:06] Friends, this is Harry Potter. Harry
[00:05:09] Potter, this is him, this is the boy.
[00:05:13] The boy. Friends, this is how we met Harry
[00:05:17] Potter in Brazil. Today, we truly have a fairy tale without exaggeration. Harry
[00:05:20] Potter, don't be afraid, he won't
[00:05:23] bite you.
[00:05:26] Do they get along with each other? No, they don't. I see, I
[00:05:30] see that mine is wary.
[00:05:32] Do they recognize you? Yes, they recognize me. They
[00:05:36] distinguish people. Birds also have this
[00:05:39] peculiarity: they remember the faces of those people. The TV presenter
[00:05:52] offered
[00:05:56] us to stay overnight at his place, as tomorrow would be a special day for
[00:06:00] his tiger, Tom. We could
[00:06:02] not miss such an event, and we really wanted to see how
[00:06:06] Gilberto himself lives.
[00:06:09] Well, of course, your chambers are simply royal. Here.
[00:06:13] Tell me, how much does such a house cost? If I
[00:06:16] wanted to sell it today, the price would be about 2 million
[00:06:20] dollars.
[00:06:23] There's my game
[00:06:24] room.
[00:06:28] This
[00:06:29] is the kitchen.
[00:06:34] I did all this myself, approximately 20 years
[00:06:36] ago.
[00:06:39] See, friends, these 20-year-old wooden windows look
[00:06:42] gorgeous. This is my dream, you know, you have realized the model of my dream
[00:06:45] in your house, I want such a
[00:06:48] house.
[00:06:51] I love being here in the morning, when different birds come to eat
[00:06:54] fruits, toucans, parrots.
[00:06:56] The view from
[00:06:59] above is even better,
[00:07:01] let's go.
[00:07:05] This is one of my offices; I have three
[00:07:07] of them. Here, friends, it's immediately clear that a
[00:07:11] TV person lives in the house. Cassettes with programs, for how many years
[00:07:15] are these programs here? For 30 years. Well, you have a lot of rare items here,
[00:07:19] it's impossible to insert
[00:07:20] anything else, excuse me.
[00:07:24] And here is my second office. This is my
[00:07:27] first lion. I am 18
[00:07:29] years old here. And this is me with a chimpanzee, his name was
[00:07:32] Johnny.
[00:07:37] This is my
[00:07:37] bedroom.
[00:07:42] This is my favorite place; the best view
[00:07:46] opens from here.
[00:07:50] Friends, now you finally see the inside
[00:07:53] of the lives of famous Brazilian TV presenters. This is how they live, it
[00:07:56] truly resembles some kind of
[00:07:58] fairy tale.
[00:08:03] I don't know how other presenters live, but I chose to live here,
[00:08:06] closer to nature. In fact, everything is simple. You say you don't
[00:08:10] know how other TV presenters live?
[00:08:13] I, for example, don't live like that, but I would really like to live
[00:08:15] like that. I don't believe you. Come,
[00:08:18] I'll show you. I'll come, I'll come much earlier than you can
[00:08:22] imagine. Oh my God,
[00:08:25] you really have a zoo at home. What's the beauty's
[00:08:28] name? Her name is Lara.
[00:08:31] Lara. Larisa, are you
[00:08:34] hot now? I'm a little
[00:08:36] hot. And what can
[00:08:39] she say? She can imitate
[00:08:42] sounds.
[00:08:46] Oh, oh. She's laughing.
[00:08:50] Laughing.
[00:08:56] We spent the night
[00:08:58] in the company of birds and animals. The next morning, the usual routine
[00:09:02] begins at the farm: cutting tens of kilograms of meat
[00:09:05] and driving out animals. Tom has already been moved from the enclosure, and today
[00:09:09] a real surprise awaits him. We prepared a meeting for him
[00:09:12] with the person he loves more than anyone in the world:
[00:09:16] Ari Marcos Borges, Tom's first owner. All of
[00:09:19] Brazil knows Ari. He was one of the first to notice the
[00:09:23] disappearance of tigers and began taking predators from zoos and
[00:09:26] circuses to his home. The rescued animals became part of his
[00:09:29] family. They lived in his house with his children and grandchildren. In total,
[00:09:33] Ari had 17 tigers and lions. He was engaged in raising
[00:09:37] and increasing their population, but one day he had to part with
[00:09:41] his beloved pets.
[00:10:36] again with his child, as he calls him. The younger children specifically came to meet Tom. The family had been waiting
[00:10:40] for this day for a very long time. So, you see,
[00:10:44] the children are meeting their brother
[00:10:46] for the first time. We can say he's their brother, right? He
[00:10:50] is their brother, awesome! Friends, such a domestic cat,
[00:10:53] simply wonderful. Like in the good old days, Ari takes his
[00:10:57] tiger for a walk. There is no limit to the joy
[00:11:00] of the former owner. Now I am no longer afraid, because I see
[00:11:04] that he is a reliable friend,
[00:11:07] who has proven over the years that he does
[00:11:10] not harm his own.
[00:11:13] He recognized his owner even after 3 years. Let's go
[00:11:16] swimming. And this is, friends, Tom's favorite bench. He likes
[00:11:20] to lie down here in the shade of these
[00:11:24] tropical bushes. Now we need to wash our handsome boy.
[00:11:27] What a good boy, let's
[00:11:28] go.
[00:11:32] He liked everything, he loves when
[00:11:35] he's washed, yes, yes, he really loves it. Friends, how to wash a tiger?
[00:11:39] Washing a tiger is very simple: take shampoo,
[00:11:41] pour it on, you need to use a lot, take a brush and just thoroughly
[00:11:45] lather it up, rub it in, it's very
[00:11:47] simple. The tiger will be clean, will smell good, will be happy, will be pleased. Look
[00:11:51] how lathered up he is, what a handsome boy.
[00:11:55] He likes it, he really likes it. What are your feelings
[00:11:59] now, looking at your beloved pet? For me,
[00:12:02] Tom is a special tiger, I love him very much, and I am completely
[00:12:06] delighted.
[00:12:09] Well, that's it, the boy wanted to change his
[00:12:12] location.
[00:12:15] We haven't washed off all the shampoo yet, so we need to wash it off completely. After
[00:12:19] the water procedures, Tom no longer wanted to walk and dragged two experienced
[00:12:22] trainers back to his favorite cage.
[00:12:26] That's it, he's tired of washing, he growled,
[00:12:28] he roared, and any, any of his
[00:12:32] whims are law for the owners. It's useless to argue with
[00:12:35] a tiger, it's absolutely pointless.
[00:12:39] That's what he's tired of, you see, he asked to go into the cage himself, he himself
[00:12:42] asks to go into his cage, he loves his little house, and he is
[00:12:45] comfortable here. It's a shame that I'm leaving
[00:12:49] today. Now I'll miss him even more. The only
[00:12:53] thing that comforts me is that I...
[00:12:55] My tiger is doing very well with Gilberto. What happened,
[00:12:59] tell us? I have been involved in freeing tigers from
[00:13:02] circuses and other places of captivity since
[00:13:05] 2007. In total, I had 17 animals in my home
[00:13:09] sanctuary, tigers and lions. And at that time, I
[00:13:12] started breeding tigers, but I didn't have the appropriate
[00:13:15] documents that allow doing this in captivity. Because
[00:13:19] of this, I had conflicts with Brazilian authorities and
[00:13:22] animal welfare organizations. As a result...
[00:14:26] One of those who survived is Tom.
[00:14:29] By the way, Tom almost died too. After they
[00:14:33] took my tiger, he was transferred to a zoo. Tom had
[00:14:36] terrible conditions there, he damaged his mouth there, scraped
[00:14:40] his teeth. So it turns out he wanted to get out of the cage and just gnawed
[00:14:43] at the bars. Yes, when I found out about this, I asked
[00:14:47] my friend Gilberto to take my tiger, my
[00:14:50] son, in. What is your main goal? Do you want to free all
[00:14:54] tigers? Yes, I hope that soon all
[00:14:57] my problems with the authorities will end, and I will be able to
[00:15:00] return to my favorite work, saving tigers and increasing
[00:15:04] their population. I wish you not to give up,
[00:15:08] to fight, and you know perfectly well that if you
[00:15:11] don't give up, you will definitely achieve your goal. I think someday you
[00:15:14] will win, because you have such a strong
[00:15:17] love. Thank you, I will fight for my
[00:15:21] tigers. Friends, thank you very much for an unforgettable day and...
[00:15:25] and I will never forget it.
[00:15:28] And thank
[00:15:29] you very much.

[00:15:36] local residents make money from exotic animals. See
