Man Plans To Live Among Big Cats For 30 Days And We Ain't Lion

FLORIDA (CBS) — A Florida man says he will live among two African lions for 30 days to help raise money and awareness for their care.

Wait. Let's ponder this for one moment.

Okay, you read that right.

James Jablon of Spring Hill is pulling the daring stunt to raise money for his wildlife center, Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando.

Unless he knows something we don't....like all the lion's teeth have been removed, this sounds...well, kinda nuts if you ask us!

Jablon entered the den Saturday. So far, he's still walking around...with all his limbs intact.

The lions, named Ed and Lea, are docile (he says) but Jablon says, just in case they start fighting he's going to build an enclosure in some trees just in case.

Sounds like a plan.
