Four and a half year old Babblu is not a tame tiger after all. Asher explained that when he first got the tiger cub four years ago he did domesticate the blue-eyed beast. However, he had to be moved to isolation in Asher’s farmhouse when he got too big. Now the furry white giant is aggressive again.
This Karachiite has a knack for domesticating big cats. He also owns four African lions, one male and three female, as well as a Royal Bengal tigress named, Yozoo. He’s had the lions for five years now.
Asher shared that he has tamed some 17 lion cubs over the years. He also has a black deer and two ostriches. The man opened up about the hassle and legal paperwork that comes with exotic pets.
