Ferit Yavuz, from Turkey, Istanbul is one of the most unusual people in the world regarding his relationship with the animals. " I can communicate with all kinds of wild and dangerous animals" he says to TIMETURK.

In an exclusive interview with TIMETURK, Yavuz said looking through the eyes of every animal and by using his body language he can communicate and be friends with them.

"They can feel what you feel" Yavuz says. "Even if the most dangerous animals can feel the lovely sense you show them" he adds.

Also as a professional athlete and ney-maker, Yavuz shares one of his ineresting memories about the wild animals. "One day I ran almost 30 kilometers in a village and in that village a very dangerous and aggressive dog came towards me. I looked through its eyes and said hey dog, are you hungry hah? And I showed him a piece of bread that I always carry in my pocket to give the animals that I love a lot. Then I touched it and a good communication between us was established. Actually it was a shepherd dog and when the owner shepherd came, he could not believe his eyes since that dog killed a few people in the village.

Yavuz also shares his memory with the lion in its cage. His eyes fills with tears when he remembers the time he spent with the lion in its cage and the music concert he gave to the lion with his ney. "People could not believe their eyes that how such a wild animal could be so lovely and relaxed while I was playing ney. TV cameras, newspapers all talked about me and my lion."

"They killed my lion" he says. Blaming the vets that time, "they injected 80 cc vaccine twice in a day to my baby lion" he adds.

You can easily realize that Yavuz, as a musician and a man of emotion loves animals more than men.
