The story, captured in an inspiring documentary film Living with Tigers by naturalist John Varty,The story begins with John deciding to give the rapidly vanishing Bengal Tigers a second chance at life by creating a wild life sanctuary in the midst of Africa.

Not many thought it was possible to rehabilitate Bengal Tigers in Africa would be possible, mainly because the tigers are adapted to hunting in the forest areas that offer them ample cover to ambush prey, while in Africa the nature of hunts are usually wild chases!

John partnered with 24 year old Canadian naturalist, who also trained big cats – lions & tigers for Hollywood. Dave Salmoni also handled big cats in Canadian Bowmanville Zoo. The two set on a 3 year journey to rehabilitate 7 month old tigers Ron & Julie in the jungles of South Africa.
