I guess you remember the lovely lion family – mama Aysa and her kids Santa, Teddi and Emi who came to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park from Ukraine?
The family is doing fine in this wonderful park …
… and on the 17th of October the rangers had arranged a great birthday party for the three young lions.
What’s this? It looks like a birthday cake made of cardboard ….
As you can see they celebrated their 2nd birthday.
It’s always great and heart warming to see these lions having such a good life in Yorkshire. They had a miserable start of their lives but now they have the life they deserve.
The surprises were decorated with both Ukrainian and English flags.
Will there be surprises in the boxes?
Of course, the birthday childs didn’t hesitate to start ‘opening the parcels’.
Oh year, there are nice surprises for us!
Teddi in full action!
You must admit we opened the parcels very quickly in a most elegant way!
Thank you, dear rangers, for arranging such a nice birthday party for my children!
Belated happy birthday wishes to you from the readers of this magazine, too!
Herzlichsten Glückwunsch,ihr drei lieben Löwchen! 💓💓💓
Pat you captured that moment wonderfully it was worth the visit just to celebrate that with them. Thank you Ann XX
Dear Pat and Mervi
It is always a pleasure to see YWP giving a new home to animals. The birthday went well.
Dear Pat,
these are wonderful photos of the lions on their birthday.
Wonderful how the carers look after the lions’ welfare!
Thank you for your lovely report with Mervi’s help!

Happy Birthday, Kiddies. I am sure that they will love their toys, however, I cannot help but that a huge steak would also have been appreciated. One for each of course!
Dear Pat!
Thank you for this lovely report on the birthday party for the rescued lion cubs from Ukraine.
It is heartwarming that they are now receiving so much love and attention and they certainly appreciated the gifts. Cats, even the big ones, love boxes and know what to do with them.
I’m so happy for them and wish them all the best!
Hugs
