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.

  2. 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.

    Hugs
