Kiara, the matriarch of the Cusco pride, has endured a lot. These days, she enjoys a peaceful life at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa.

In 2014, her family was torn apart by a circus in Peru who used her cubs as photo props. In two raids, ADI saved the animals and in an unforgettable moment, reunited Kiara with her cubs Scarc and Mahla.

Now Kiara is happy and content in Tohir Habitat, which she shares with her now grown kids.
