Rolex, son of the beloved and dearly missed Leo and Muñeca, has been a resident of the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary since we built it, 5 years ago.

Rescued from a circus in Peru with his family, he was saved on the very first day of ADI’s Operation Spirit of Freedom in 2014, a mission enforcing Peru’s ban on wild animals in circuses. His mother and sisters were brought to safety a few months later.

ADI emptied every cage in this rescue mission lasting almost two years and saving over 100 animals including 33 lions!
