Netflix's newest documentary series, Tiger King, follows the lives and exploits of private zoo owners and big cat/wild animal enthusiasts across the nation. Among the most talked subjects of the series, is animal trainer — and Myrtle Beach Safari founder/director — Dr. Bhagavan "Doc" Antle.

Antle has been working with wildlife animals for decades, and founded the T.I.G.E.R.S. reserve — The Institute for Greatly Endangered and Rare Species — in the early 1980s. As part of his work with wildlife animals, he has been apart of many film and TV productions, including films like Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle. Antle has also appeared as a wildlife expert on National Geographic Channel, BBC, Discovery Channel, and CNN. He also once appeared on-stage with iconic pop singer Britney Spears, as seen in a recently resurfaced photo.

Along the way, he has documented much of his daily life with some wild Instagram posts, and we have collected some of the more recent ones below. Scroll down to check them out!

Myrtle Beach Safari gets many celebrity guests that come to visit the animals, with WWE's The Undertaker recently appearing in a clip on Antle's Instagram.

The post caption reads: "The tiger stands as the last sentinel of the forest. If we lose the tiger, we will lose a piece of ourselves but if we could save the tiger we could save the world. For the tiger to survive it must have clean clear skies, pristine lakes and rivers plentiful prey animals, lush forests, wide open spaces and people who care.

"If we save the tiger we can save the world. Today our Rangers are posted at Soryia Station deep in the jungles of Sumatra. Rangers that we employ are saving wildlife. Today with them we caught poachers, removed deadly snares, and did research for new solutions to wildlife crime."
