Recently Santa, Emi and Teddy celebrated their 3rd birthday.
This is gorgeous Teddi.

Santa was taking care of her baby sister Nala.
She had lots of patience with the playful little girl …
… but finally even a turbo baby gets tired. 🙂
Mama Aysa could have a short moment for herself.

Three young lions from Ukraine have arrived in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park so now there are no less than ten lions in the park!! I hope I can soon publish photos of the newcomers, too.














Hello Pat,
it’s so lovely to see this lion family safe and sound in Yorkshire Park.They are doing great and now everyone is safe and happy after their terrible experiences in Ukraine.
Thank you for the great photos!

Dear Pat!
Thank you for this wonderful news and the great photos. It’s a beautiful story amid all the terrible ones that are weighing heavily on our hearts at the moment. I’m so happy for the lion family that they are now safe and apparently enjoying their life in Yorkshire.
