Brodie, brother of Hamish, recently moved temporarily from the Highland Wildlife Park to YWP.

Brodie is almost as big and impressive as his big brother.

After a few days settling into his new surroundings, he is now sharing an enclosure with Nobby.

Brodie has settled in very well and likes to stay close to Nobby who is chilling out on top of the bank.

The two guys seem to get along just fine – giving each other necessary space. 🙂

Aysa’s cubs Jabari and Nala are doing fine. This is Jabari.

This is Felix – the big brother of the twins. Hmm, is he laughing or growling ….

Jabari and Nala – what a lovely sight!

This day Felix joined his younger sister and brother.

  1. Dear Pat!
    Thank you for your lovely update from the YWP! I hope that Nobby and Brodie continue to live peacefully together and maybe even become friends. I like Brodie.
    The lion cubs are adorable little heartbreakers, like all small big cats.
    Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve party and all the best for the New Year!

    Hugs

  3. Dear Pat,
    That’s great news, and I hope Brodie gets on well with his new mates.

  4. Nobby ist der ideale Partner für den Neuankömmling Brodie, der das Zusammensein mit einem “Kumpel” sehr genießt !!👍🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️😊
    Der Löwennachwuchs ist noch immer ganz bezaubernd, ob wohl die Kleinen schon ziemlich gewachsen sind…
