# Dean Schneider

> A Swiss finance guy who walked away from his desk job to live among lions in South Africa - and film it. Schneider's videos of wrestling big cats and preaching animal empathy have made him one of wildlife content's biggest draws, though the line between advocacy and spectacle stays thin.

## Bio

Born in Switzerland in October 1992, Schneider left an entrepreneurial career to relocate to South Africa and establish an animal sanctuary. He built a following by documenting his direct, often physical interactions with the animals in his care - particularly lions - positioning himself as both conservationist and social media creator. The platform grew on the tension between genuine wildlife work and the performative demands of keeping millions watching.
