Mike Tyson once revealed he offered $10-thousand to a New York zookeeper in the late 1980s to fight a silverback gorilla he saw bullying others during a private zoo tour with then-wife Robin Givens. Recalling the moment, Tyson said, “There was one big silverback gorilla just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10-thousand to open the cage and let me smash that silverback’s snot box. He declined.”Tyson, known for his daring and impulsive nature, also famously kept two tigers as pets at his Las Vegas home, a decision he later regretted. Reflecting on the risks of owning wild animals, he admitted, “There’s no way you can domesticate these cats 100-percent. They’ll kill you by accident, especially when you’re playing rough with them.”
