Kesari makes objects look smaller than they appear. He also doesn’t know his own strength – he leaned against his A frame and it collapsed! Our ADI Wildlife Sanctuary team has since rebuilt it, but it just goes to show how big Kesari is.

The A frames are a favorite among our rescued lions, including Ruben. They provide shade while still allowing the occupants to watch events and feel the breeze, especially now that it’s spring.
Kesari needed a home after he was driven out by his pride at Pretoria Zoo. ADI stepped in to offer him a forever home. He lives in the Joan & Geoff Phillips Habitat and is friends with neighbors Coco and Chino on one side and Simba and ReyA on the other, and one habitat away from his new neighbor, Ruben.
