The Yorkshire Wildlife Park has offered home to no less than nine lions from Ukraine!
They have all made themselves ‘comfortable’ in their new home.

Although we are not free we feel free after our bad experiences!
Teddi has something important to tell mama Aysa.
Maybe he wanted some training advice – the football season is soon here!
The two ‘lion clans’ live in separate enclosures but obviously they can see each othr. Aysa and one of her cubs are curiously checking their neighbours.
Aysa’s youngest kids were visiting the Napland.
Nine-month-old Amur leopard cubs Lewis and Ali have grown into their spots and paws 😍
They certainly are cuter than cute!
Ali doing the morning toilette. The big cats are as particular of their looks as our domestic cats. 🙂
Mama Kristin is very proud of her babies.
Dear Mervi!
KM is having problems again and you need patience to get in. That’s probably why there are so few comments at the moment.
Dear Sheila and Philip!
Thank you for the lovely update about the big cats in Yorkshire. It’s great that the lions from Ukraine have found a new and safe home here. They look fantastic, as do the leopards. They are beautiful animals!

Großartig, dass sie hier ein sicheres Zuhause gefunden haben.
Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen!
Dear Sheila and Philip!

Liebe Sheila und lieber Philip,
Die Löwen haben nach den schrecklichen Zuständen in der Ukraine ihr Paradies in YWP gefunden!
Ich liebe das Bild von Mutter und Kind von hinten ganz besonders
Sich leckende und pflegende Großkatzen und Hauskatzen sin ein wunderschönes Bild!
Die Kätzchen sind fotografisch toll eingefangen. 🙂
Für die beiden Löwenfamilien aus der Ukraine ist es ein großes Glück, dass sie im YWP in Sicherheit sind und so einen tollen Platz bekommen haben. 👍🦁🦁👏
Ali und Lewis, der Nachwuchs von Amur-Leopardin Kristin ist einfach bezaubernd!!💝
