The lion family that was rescued from Ukraine is doing fine.

Recently Santa, Emi and Teddy celebrated their 3rd birthday.

This is gorgeous Teddi.

Mama Aysa having a tender moment with one of her babies.

Santa was taking care of her baby sister Nala.

Santa had lots of patience with the playful little girl …

… but finally even a turbo baby gets tired. 🙂

Mama Aysa could have a short moment for herself.

Brothers Jabari and Felix

Nala is a girl

Three young lions from Ukraine have arrived in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park so now there are no less than ten lions in the park!! I hope I can soon publish photos of the newcomers, too.
