#lionsoftumblr

to be honest, this is one of the greatest successes in my life. these lions were born under terrible conditions in captivity and now live in the hakuna mipaka oasis as wild as possible. in the unique way, they made me part of their life by letting me be part of their actual family and teach me to become one of them.

lion bryan (19) was rescued from the circus last december, where he had spent his entire life. he recovered in quarantine over the past few weeks and went outside for the first time. a big step, finally soft earth beneath his paws. very carefully he explored everything and looked around everywhere. after a while he found a place to relax. now he has plenty of time to calmly adjust to his new surroundings.
