The King Of The Jungle and The Real Tarzann – these are the names that an exotic animal specialist, teacher, and a zoo keeper Mike Holston from Miami, Florida, calls himself. His Instagram is full of fluffy, scary, adorable and unique animals that he takes care of because of the endless passion for all kinds of creatures that leads him through life.
Inspired by Steve Irwin, who he calls his idol and “the best man to stroll this Earth”, The Real Tarzann uses the visibility he gets for the good causes. He loves to educate people about those animals and often visits schools to teach children. Holston’s daily life might seem completely crazy as he can be seen cuddling with tigers, sharing bananas with monkeys, posing with all kinds of reptiles and many other different animals. Scroll down to see his extra wild adventures for yourself!

What do you think ?
I have no words. I love people that love animals.
i count 10 words
This guy has the BEST job
I think this dude should leave animals in the wild instead of profiting off them.
"Holston currently works as a manager at an exotic reptile farm where he saves, buys, breeds and sells exotic reptiles, amphibians and sometimes mammals." Yeah, I don't know how to feel about this. The exotic animals he buys, where do they come from?
I assume you had the same issue with Steve Irwin, and also his son now
Firstly yes I do have an issue with the purchase of all wild animals - this trade is well documented for its brutal methods. Secondly at least Australia Zoo (erwin’s zoo) has the funds and expertise to mimic animal’s actual habitat. This just looks like a dude who thought it would be rad. You only need to check out any animal charity to see hundreds of similar examples of poorly funded, low-expertise roadside zoos that routinely get shut down for sub standard care, so not sure why this guy is being celebrated.
well, Steve paid the ultimate price. Let's hope his son doesn't
