Simba has been taken into hospital today to try and establish the cause of nosebleed. At 17 years old, Simba is one of our senior lions at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, having been rescued with brother Rey Ayacucho (Rey A) from a circus in Peru eleven years ago.

Do you think our ADI Wildlife Sanctuary big cat residents, rescued from circuses and the illegal wildlife pet trade, deserve a treat? Chino, pictured here enjoying his last Halloween, clearly thinks so!

We are saddened to hear of the passing of renowned primatologist and United Nations Messenger of Peace, Jane Goodall PhD, DBE, aged 91, in Los Angeles yesterday.

Dr Caldwell conducted a series of checks last week on Sasha after the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary Resident Welfare Team were slightly concerned that she was leaving some of her food.

In addition to our larger residents, the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary is home to a menagerie of other animals, of all sizes, who are just as much part of the family.

It is with great sadness we announce our dear Tarzan has passed away, a month after his beloved Tanya. The two lions, rescued by ADI from a circus in Guatemala seven years ago, had been inseparable and their devotion to each other won the hearts of people all over the world. They became known as the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary Sweethearts.

Coralie has recovered well after her veterinary procedures on Tuesday – she was up and about almost immediately! The lioness, who was rescued from a circus in France, was spayed to prevent breeding and the risk of pyometra and some cancers in later life (she previously had an implant from before she arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary). Coralie also had a lump on her shoulder removed, with a biopsy sent for testing.

Muheeb was up and about the morning after his veterinary check this week. Dr Caldwell said he is looking good and has gained weight.
