Lions just want to have fun

LIONS HAVING FUN AT THE ADI WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, SOUTH AFRICA. Who would’ve thought our rescued lions would have so much fun with water melons? These lions rescued from tiny cages in circuses in Peru and Colombia certainly enjoyed their Christmas treats, tearing open their presents and biting into the water melons. At the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary we give our rescued animals large natural habitats to roam and play, but giving them extra enrichment like these water melons is vital for keeping them engaged and stimulated - and simply having fun. They endured years in small, bare circus cages and were abused to make them perform, now these lions just want to have fun. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the Christmas gifts for the lions.

I remember the day they were being rescued and how miserable, angry they were. Their whole demeanor has changed and you can tell they are so happy. They have gained weight, they play, they don't show teeth, and they simply just being lions. Thank you for bringing them this joy.

Yup just happy loved and spoiled like my house cats. Its easy to tell ... lions / cats dont have much facial expressions but the way they roll on the ground , playing and just being silly and mischievous... thats pure joy!!!

It’s wonderful to see these lions having the opportunity to be lions in the ADI Sanctuary. So happy they are now living the good life and having lots of fun! Thank you ADI for rescuing them and all the other animals you have rescued from the circus industry. ❤️

[@animaldefenders]

Yes, they deserve all the happiness after everything they've been through. Soon, these lions will be joined by 5 more lions and 12 tigers we've rescued from circuses in Guatemala. Here is fan-favorite sweet lion couple, Tarzan and Tanya (2 of the lions rescued from Guatemala) who we are preparing to fly to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary along with the other 15 big cats. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoK0iamDiahgbKs For more on our rescue stories, subscribe to our new ADI TV channel where we’ll soon be launching a new series ‘Wild Rescues’.
