Daring Zoo Keeper.


Zookeeper Jeff Harwell shows no fear as he dives into the swimming pool with eager Akasha preparing to follow him
A brave zookeeper has taken a real leap of faith - into a swimming pool with a fearsome tiger.
Daring Jeff Harwell, 30, dived into the water closely followed by 450lb Bengal tiger Akasha to the astonishment of visitors.

The pair amazed crowds with their ‘romping and splashing’ in the 50ft pool at Out of Africa Wildlife Park at Camp Verde in Arizona, United States.
Crowds hold their breath behind the safety of a wired fence as Mr Harwell leaps through the air
The 450lb fully-grown Bengal tiger begins his own leap, keen to follow his keeper
Akasha keeps his gaze on the feet of Mr Harwell who has no choice but to blindly trust the tiger as he enters the water

With all four paws off the ground, the giant playful cat can't wait to begin the game

Akasha tightly closes his eyes as he causes a massive splash in the pool to the delight of the spectators
How brave.
