We love this drone picture of lions Tomas and Kimba dozing in the grass…
The boys were born in a circus in Guatemala in cages no more than 2.5m square. Tomas was sent to a local zoo while the circus kept Kimba. When Guatemala banned animals in circuses ADI assisted the government with enforcement and rescued Kimba. Then by a twist of good fate, the zoo surrendered Tomas to ADI’s Temporary Rescue Unit and the boys were subsequently reunited in their new home in Africa at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary.
The boys are rarely apart in the 2.5-acre Avi Habitat and often sleep cuddled up together. Our large habitats mean the animals can disappear from sight and the drone is a useful tool for locating animals – as you can see in this picture – we can fly high enough to ensure we don’t disturb our sleeping beauties!
It doesn’t get more peaceful than this image, definitely a long, long way from the small bare, circus cage on wheels they were born in.
