My Unconventional Life: Meet the real-life Tarzan who grew up with tigers and lions!

"My Unconventional Life" profiles individuals across the country who celebrate their nonconformity and proudly lead unorthodox lives. Check in weekly to learn more about these unique individuals, from a bodybuilding mom to a couple who believes they're real-life vampires.

Kody Antle's life seems straight out of a Disney movie. With an elephant as a babysitter, tiger cubs in his backyard and chimpanzees swinging around his house, it's safe to say that Antle is the real-life Tarzan!

"Growing up, I realized my life is unique, really because what I wanted and other kids wanted was so different," Antle explained to AOL Lifestyle. "I always just had a deeper connection to animals and I just wanted to be naked running around with tigers!"

"Communication with the animals really starts from birth," he said of his relationship with the animals. Building a relationship with the wild animals takes time, but "they will actually show you a side of themselves that you didn't know existed," whether it's their intelligence or a unique personality trait.

"He may be the only person in the world living like this," said his father, who shares with Kody a passion for wildlife. Check out more of the Antles and their work in the video above!
