We are as delighted as his neighbours Coco, Chino, Rey Ayacucho and Simba, that Kesari arrived home last night after a stay with Dr Peter Caldwell at Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic. He is back in the sunshine at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary today and is being treated for a bladder infection. The problem is believed to have been caused by him drinking less in the colder winter nights, so we will be taking boosting his water intake with blood and water ice lollies. Kesari has lost weight and we will be monitoring this, but it is great to have him home.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending love and good wishes to this big boy. Kesari is the largest lion at ADIWS, although Tarzan tips the scales as the heaviest lion – despite our best efforts to slim him down!
