She might have a lifetime of experience w/these animals, but no self-respecting wildlife expert would engage in such a "made-for-tv" encounter. And re the comments about her looks, well, I think it's more than coincidence that a beautiful young woman in a stunning setting, being photographed in a rather suggestive way cavorting with wild, dangerous animals who should be left alone, wasn't done partly for entertainment value. This video suggests to less experienced folks that it's ok to mingle with deadly wildlife in their natural habitat and, more important to me, puts the wildlife at considerably heightened risk of becoming habituated to people which increases their odds of having to be killed.
