Tuesday began as a beautiful summer’s day with barely a breeze. Then, shortly after 3pm the sky darkened and huge storm barreled into the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary with incredibly powerful winds, the level of which we have not experienced before. The wind tore the roofs off the lion houses belonging to Rey Cusco in Stephanides Habitat and Chino and Coco in Kornberg Habitat. The lions were hunkered down in their expansive main habitats, safe and seemingly unbothered by the weather. The ADIWS team checked that all the animals were safe, the free-ranging donkeys, farm animals and everyone in the lion and tiger habitats was secure.
