22.9.2024 – Photos by Sheila and Philip Baker
Mum Aysa, 3, and her cubs Emi, Santa and Teddi have had a wonderful Summer in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. As you remember they were rescued from Ukraine before they came to Yorkshire via Poland.
It’s been fantastic to see how this lion family enjoyed having green grass under their paws.
What could be more relaxing than a nice nap in the sun?

Teddi wants to be the King of the enclosure …
… but I guess mama Aysa still thinks he’s her baby boy. 🙂
Of course, Teddi is still a very young and playful lion boy.

I’m sure they are all having happy dreams – and when they wake up they know the happy dreams have come true!
I love these photos of Teddi. He’s a real charmeur!
We mustn’t forget the two ladies Carla and Crystal either!
Mind you – give us some privacy, please! 🙂
It’s wonderful to see how well these beautiful lions have settled in and how content they are.
Dear Sheila and dear Philip!
Thank you for this heart-warming update on the lions rescued from Ukraine! It’s wonderful to see how well they are doing and how great they look. I immediately fell in love with the young male lion…
The photos of the relaxed and cuddly animals are just great. The sleeping lions make me tired too…

Dear Sheila and Philip!
The lion family looks very happy. Teddy is still young, but I think he will be separated from the females soon. I hope he will live in the nice place.

Dear Mervi,
the rescue of this lion family was truly a miracle, and if animals can remember anything – and I am convinced they can – they wake up every morning in a paradise after the terrible time in war-torn Ukraine.
Shela & Philip – the photos are marvellous!
Thank you and best regards!

Es ist wunderbar, dass es den Löwen im YWP so gut geht und sie “in Ruhe und Frieden” ihre neue “Heimat” genießen können!!!💝
