Jungle-bred, killer tiger Khan licks the face of his trainer, Alex Kerr
Jungle-bred, killer tiger Khan licks the face of his trainer, Alex Kerr. This picture could never have been taken if Alex had ever laid a harsh hand on Khan in teaching him this incredible act. If cruelty had been used Alex would have been a dead man as soon as he took his eyes from Khan s. You can see the blood trickling from Alexs cheek (left) as the great, rasping tongue of Khan caresses the man he loves. December 1957 P000734

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness an extraordinary bond between a jungle-bred, killer tiger named Khan and his trainer, Alex Kerr. The image captures a moment of pure trust and affection as Khan lovingly licks the face of his human companion. This heartwarming scene serves as a testament to the remarkable relationship that has been forged through kindness and respect. The significance of this photograph lies in what it represents – the absence of cruelty in their training. Had Alex ever resorted to harsh methods, he would have met a grim fate at the hands of this majestic creature. It is evident from the blood trickling down Alex's cheek that their connection is not without its risks, but it is precisely these risks that make their bond all the more awe-inspiring. Taken in December 1957, this snapshot showcases both animals' intelligence and capacity for friendship. Beyond being merely cute or humorous, it offers us a glimpse into an era where such incredible acts were possible through mutual understanding rather than forceful coercion. This particular image holds sentimental value for those who appreciate genuine connections between humans and animals. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by nature itself. As we gaze upon Khan's rasping tongue caressing Alex's cheek with tenderness, we are reminded of the power of compassion and how it can bridge seemingly insurmountable gaps between species.
