We have seen many people tempt fate and push things to the extreme, but one man has decided to do something extraordinary.

Cuddle a hyena. Savage, right? 

Hyenas are known for their courageous and roguish personality and are often considered nature's thugs. It takes someone truly fearless to ever dare face them, never mind getting up close, comfy, and personal with them.

One South African man was able to tame these creatures and crack a belly laugh out of them while being playful.

Check out how friendly he gets with the animals:

"Terrifying yet wonderful," says one listener.

Unlike most animal videos where something like this went wrong, everything was shockingly heartwarming.

A beautiful moment shared by two mammals who both inhabit the same planet, but couldn't be more different. Embracing in laughter and spreading the love on the internet. How amazing!
