Это большая радость! Вы делаете все лучшее для животных !🙂

[@bluecowboyyoga]

Sahee says, I am here!!! Oh, thank you for this touching and informative video. I am in love with Sahee already and long to bury my face in his woolly undercoat. Sonika is an exquisite beauty! Thank you for showing us too the moving parts/musical lions with the relocation of Kasanga next to Imara :)

Kasanga is Panthera Leo Melanochaita.

Lovely to see Sahee and Sonika settling in their new home 🦁🦁❤️❤️ are they in the same enclosure together? As they were happy together at Bristol Zoo

[@aurorahdale1306]

Kudos It just goes to show how loved and well cared for these cats are to be so comfortable with a move like that. Sahee really likes his logs. Sonika is doing well also. It's just a shame that sometime in the future this maybe the only way to see these beautiful creatures of God. Thank you and God bless you for taking such good care of them. All the big cats. I just pray we never lose them in the wild.

[@moa3810]

They're amazing

[@StormCatStuff]

Its not about sonika and sahee specifically, but i had an idea while i was thinking about willow rubbing her face against the fence for scratchies: get a couple of broom heads with stiff bristles and zip tie them to the fence! That way theres something nice to rub her face against, like a brush or a mama kitties tongue

[@roseramos8213]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖💖

💚💚💚

[@mayajrj]

Kasanga looked relaxed about his move, Welcome Sonika and Sahee. Are they being retired for the breeding programme because of age ? Lovely to see a new species of lion though

[@MC-gt6yp]

Are these lions spayed or neutered?

[@LockandLoad79]

"...also cardboard boxes." I guess, a cat is going to do cat things.

[@DianeLee999]

How does one become a guest at the lodge? ❤

[@kv1474]

Asitic lions population increase program start

[@carolhayar3037]

Wonderful work & gorgeous animals who all deserve a good life BUT the non-stop banging "music" is quite hard on the brain & unnecessary -- you could lower the volume or use a calmer more pleasant type music.

[@rosbar4752]

Love these videos. But what’s up with that annoying music ? It would be fine with no music at all.

[@carolhayar3037]

Agree absolutey -- the constant repeat banging is quite annoying to the brain cells AND really unnecessary -- either lower the volume or use some calmer more pleasant type music.

*Gradually free these lions back into the wild. Lions are meant to be free*.. *Get them acclimated to the wild, hunting on their own* .. *AND FREE THEM* .. *LET THEM GO FREE*

[@anaalvarez1925]

If they free them they’ll be hunted by barbaric trophy hunters. They’re huge lions. To protect them sometimes you have to have fences. I believe they can be freed into a sanctuary which they’ll be safe.
