Former NBA star Yao Ming is in Africa shooting a documentary to raise awareness about illegal poaching. It’s a lofty cause that’s provided some absolutely brilliant photos of the giant man posing with wildlife. That’s what y’all want to see, right?

In all seriousness, the 7-foot-6 Ming is as smart as he is tall. You can read some of his writings about his mission here and here. You’ll be impressed.
