MORNING ALL! Leo, father of the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary pride, is up and about early in the morning sunshine. On these South African summer days the lions and tigers at ADIWS are up and about early, usually starting the roaring chorus at 5am and getting active before sheltering for the hottest part of the day then getting active again in the afternoon and evening. Despite his senior years, the old lion rescued from a circus in Peru a decade ago and now 21 years old, follows a similar ritual, pottering about in the cool morning before settling under one of the trees in Abbey Habitat to sleep – often very heavily to the occasional consternation of the ADIWS Resident Care Team trying to call him for dinner!
Have a great week.
