Tarzan has joined Simba to have a raised table for eating his dinner. 

Lupe, mother of Max and Stripes, was seen to have an eye injury and has been taken to hospital where she is being assessed by Dr Peter Caldwell.

Understandably, Luna (pictured yesterday) has been missing sister Jade after her recent passing due to cancer. 

Malnutrition in a circus in Guatemala had stunted Jade’s growth and left her with walking difficulties and she had lost her tail, but they never broke her spirit. This video was the day she cracked the ADIWS play center puzzle.

We are heartbroken to report the passing of one of our young tigers, JADE, who was taken into hospital after slowing down and showing signs of discomfort. Dr Caldwell found that 9-year-old Jade had a very large, fast-growing stomach cancer. There was nothing to be done and trying to treat it would cause more suffering. It was time to let her go.

Handsome Simba was rescued by ADI eleven years ago with brother Rey during our Operation Spirit of Freedom which emptied Peru’s circus cages.

Roosevelt is fully recovered, enjoying ear scratches and his food as usual after a veterinary visit to trim his nails/hooves.

We’ve built a lot of houses for lions and tigers (see Dhubiya getting up in the morning), now, we are nearing completion for the humans who care for them each day.

Did anyone get roses for Valentine’s Day? The baby tortoises at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary certainly did! Over 60 baby leopard tortoises seized from traffickers, are growing up in a nursery at ADIWS, and will be released into the wild. Turn up the volume and listen to them munching on their Valentine’s blooms.
