Throughout this entire video, I worked with animal welfare experts and veterinarians to ensure that we only worked with the best animal habitats and fed the animals ingredients that already exist in their normal, everyday diets (as you\u2019ll see, most dishes are simple and vegetable based). Many animals are mistreated around the world, so it was extremely important to me while making this video that we found organizations committed to giving the animals the best lives possible! The elephant sanctuary, for instance, rescues elephants that have been forced into some kind of heavy labor their entire lives and gives them a comfortable, safe, and happy retirement in the jungle for the rest of their lives. If you\u2019re reading this, I\u2019d highly encourage you to do your own research before visiting a zoo, aquarium, or anything similar to make sure they treat their animals humanely. I know nobody asked about any of this, but I think it\u2019s important to use my platform to bring this to your attention since I learned a lot about animals while making this video.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Twiggy the Squirrel, Einstein the Parrot, Three Monkeys Photo Circus, Farm In The City Malaysia, Zoo Miami, Disney\u2019s world class Animals, Science and Environment team at the Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Steve Martin\u2019s Working Wildlife, and Phuket Elephant Sanctuary for filming with us<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Meat Artisan for sending over the steak for the lion: www.meatartisan.com<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to @moboxgraphics for the awesome 3D graphics<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to SnS Grills for the charcoal grill we used to cook for the lion<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to help us become the #1 food channel \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>\u2554\u2550\u2566\u2557\u2554\u2566\u2557\u2554\u2550\u2566\u2550\u2566\u2566\u2566\u2566\u2557\u2554\u2550\u2557<br \/>\n\u2551\u255a\u2563\u2551\u2551\u2551\u255a\u2563\u255a\u2563\u2554\u2563\u2554\u2563\u2551\u255a\u2563\u2550\u2563<br \/>\n\u2560\u2557\u2551\u255a\u255d\u2551\u2551\u2560\u2557\u2551\u255a\u2563\u2551\u2551\u2551\u2551\u2551\u2550\u2563<br \/>\n\u255a\u2550\u2569\u2550\u2550\u2569\u2550\u2569\u2550\u2569\u2550\u2569\u255d\u255a\u2569\u2550\u2569\u2550\u255d<\/p>\n<p>Follow for more:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@NicksKitchen<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@chef<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nick.digiovanni<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.digiovanni<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nick.digiovanni\" data-unique-id=\"nick.digiovanni\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" data-embed-type=\"creator\" style=\"max-width:780px; min-width:288px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nick.digiovanni?refer=creator_embed\">@nick.digiovanni<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.nickdigiovanni.com<\/p>\n<p>Credit to the following channels for the clips:<br \/>\n\u2022 GoPro &#8211; Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel<br \/>\n\u2022 Caters Clips  &#8211; Hungry Leopard Gets Defeated By Prickly Porcupine<br \/>\n\u2022 BBC &#8211; Leopard VS Porcupine!<br \/>\n\u2022 WildCiencias &#8211; How Strong is a Gorilla Compared to a Human?<br \/>\n\u2022 Turning Bull Videos &#8211; Gorilla Eating a Sweet Potato (corn for dessert)<br \/>\n\u2022 Animal stories\u5357\u897f\u897f\u52d5\u7269\u5831\u5831  &#8211; \u91d1\u525bTayari\u5403\u7389\u7c73\u5b8c\u6574\u7248-Gorilla Tayari eats corn<br \/>\n\u2022 Travel Thirsty &#8211; American Food &#8211; WHOLE CHICKEN ROTISSERIE and ROAST CHICKEN SANDWICHES The Perch Chicago<br \/>\n\u2022 Japan Animals Travels &#8211; Hippos eat watermelons!?<br \/>\n\u2022 The Cincinnati Zoo &amp; Botanical Garden  &#8211; Hippos and Painted Dogs get Pumpkins to Kickoff HallZooween<br \/>\n\u2022 AmagoKiichi Channel  &#8211; Hippo Family Eating Watermelons\uff06Baby hippo<br \/>\n\u2022 Nagasaki Biopark  &#8211; Hippo eat watermelon ASMR<br \/>\n\u2022 Johan Vermeulen  &#8211; Angry and Grumpy Hippos<br \/>\n\u2022 The Independent  &#8211; Charging hippo bites tourist boat&#8217;s rear motor in furious chase<br \/>\n\u2022 Zoo Tours  &#8211; Zoo Tours: Kilimanjaro Safaris<br \/>\n\u2022 Sharp Productions &#8211; NEW Slinky Dog Dash (4K On-Ride)<br \/>\n\u2022 Openusepexels &#8211; Rhino Eating Green Grass<br \/>\n\u2022 8K VIDEOS ULTRA HD &#8211; Elephants Animals Collection<br \/>\n\u2022 8K VIDEOS ULTRA HD &#8211; Amazing Lions Collection<br \/>\n\u2022 Season Ascent &#8211; An Iceland Road Trip in Winter<br \/>\n\u2022 California Science Center &#8211; Blue Whales 3D Trailer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch to the end to see me cook for a lion!
